March against the persecution of queer people in Chechnya

Besi Besemar May 20, 2017

Organisers of a March against the persecution of queer people in Chechnya are demanding the British Prime Minister, Theresa May speak out over the reports of abuse and killing in Chechnya.

The protest march has been organised to raise awareness of and show solidarity for people in Chechnya who are being rounded up, tortured, and murdered on suspicion of being gay.

Details of petitions will be available asking Teresa May to use her position and influence to put pressure on Putin and Kadyrov to cease these human rights violations immediately.

The March will commence at midday on Saturday May 27, from Brighton Station.

The route will be: Brighton Train Station – North Street – East Street – Bartholomew House headquarters for Brighton & Hove City Council.
