Russian prosecutors to investigate reports of persecution of gay Chechen men

Russian federal prosecutors have finally launched an investigation into the reported mass abductions and torture of gay men in Chechnya.

The move follows pressure from Russian and international campaigners, in the wake of the revelations by the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, that gay men in the predominantly Muslim southern republic were facing violent persecution.
