11:13Now PlayingSince 2017, activists have shared accounts of the wide scale crackdown on the LGBT+ community in Chechnya. Ismail Isayev and Salekh Magamadov, two Chechnyan brothers, both gay, escaped from Chechnya to Russia in 2020 amid one of these crackdowns. But the brothers were captured by Russian security agents earlier in 2021 and forcibly returned to Chechnya. They stated that the Government framed them with charges of terror-related offenses. The pair faces up to 15 years in prison. According to eyewitnesses, cops raided Komsomolskoye, Urus-Martanovsky, and detained at least 20 of the brothers' relatives. Their mother accused Chechnya's deeply conservative leaders of "fabricating" the legal case against her children. Kremlin-appointed strongman, Ramzan Kadyrov, is the man behind these crackdowns. Kadyrov said in 2017, "We don't have any gays. If there are any, take them to Canada."
