Help gay men locked up in concentration camps in Chechnya!

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

In recent news articles it's been highlighted that gay men are getting locked up and concentration camps in Chechnya. The government has not chosen to help these people as of yet. Gay men are beaten, tortured and forced to put bottles into their private parts! This isn't ok.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
