Chechens Tell of Prison Beatings and Electric Shocks in Anti-Gay Purge: "They Called Us Animals"

[peddlestools]

At least once a day, Adam’s captors attached metal clamps to his fingers and toes. One of the men then cranked a handle on a machine to which the clamps were linked with wires, and sent powerful electric shocks through his body. If he managed not to scream, others would join in, beating him with wooden sticks or metal rods

I actually noticed what was wrong with the HTML right in the rejection notice, so it wasn't a big deal

Is it possible to ban 300mirov? I was annoyed with their comments in my other post, but their comments are downright disrespectful in a post abou the torture and murder of LGBTQ Chechens.

Okay, this is it. This is translated from that user:

"The only thing I can not understand, because I do not have the opportunity to ask a gay man - why do they try to look so vulgar?"

Please ban them. This is not acceptable.

о, против эмиграции геев в другие страны никто не против)

That's all you have to say?

Yeah this user is really disgusting. Their homophobia is really something.

When I commented that their constantly posting only in Russian made a lot of what they were posting incomprehensible they said I should learn Russian (on an English-language comm, no less).

I wouldn't be surprised to see them pop up in racism or misogyny posts as well.

FWIW, I've decided to ignore their sad little self, since they are trolling so very *very* hard.

In their latest comment they show they're racist (anti Chechen) and Islamophobic as well!! What a peach!!

[soleiltropiques]

This is so terrible.

I thought I'd just leave this here...

I don't know how many here are members of Avaaz, but they have an online petition about this.

Negative international attention can at least embarass those in charge of this. It has worked before.
