More than 100 gay men have vanished from the streets of Chechnya and several may have been killed, Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta has reported. The Moscow-based newspaper – known for its investigative reporting – said it had confirmed rumours which had been swirling for a week about mass round-ups, detention and violence against gay men in the southern Russian territory. The crackdown appears to include vigilante violence and a wave of arrests – at least three people have been killed so far, the paper reported.
