The human rights group that had helped men flee Chechnya, the autonomous Russian republic, where torture, imprisonment and murder of men are being reported from 2017, has said the couple are being persecuted because of sexuality.
Saraekh Magamadov and Ismail Isayev, a 20-year-old man, were in the town of Nizhny Novgorod, east of Moscow, when they were captured, according to the Russian LGBT Network, writes The Guardian, traces Periscopi.
One of the men had called to the network number, and the worker had heard the bruises in the background of the call.
The two men later resurfaced at a downtown Chechnya. /Periscope
