The situation around LGBTQ+ people's persecution in Chechnya is catastrophic. They do not get a chance at survival even if released from prisons. Those who are LGBTQ+ are in danger coming from their very relatives, because Chechen security forces press the latter into performing the so-called 'honor killings', a practice rooted in ancient tradition that supposedly allows to wash the dishonor brought on by the guilty party away from the family through murder.
