Publicly condemn the homophobic human rights violations in Chechnya.
Concentration camps are being run in Chechnya where LGBT+ people are being forcibly imprisoned and tortured. Details of the torture include heavy beatings, electrification and forcing people to sit on bottles. Over 100 gay men have been imprisoned so far and at least three have been murdered.
Baroness Anelay has called on the Russian government to investigate this mass incarceration, but this is not enough. The official statement from Alvi Karimov is that "You cannot arrest of repress people who just don't exist in the republic."
