Take action against homosexual concentration camps in Chechnya.
More than 100 men have been detained in concentration camps in Chechnya, Russia, where they are subjected to torture and violent abuse due to their sexual orientation - or suspicion of such. These men are having their human rights stripped purely because they may be attracted to the same gender.
The Foreign & Commonwealth Office and Government Equalities Office made Russia their Priority Country in 2015-16 yet due to Russian Legislature many NGOs and British operatives have been shut down. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/russia-human-rights-priority-country. As a result the concentration camps are continuing. We can not sit by and watch these atrocities continue. We need operatives which will take immediate action against these camps which will very likely need funding.
