They fled Russia's Republic of Chechnya as independent media reported a crackdown on gay men involving hundreds of abductions, torture, and at least three murders.
他们逃离了俄罗斯管辖下的车臣共和国(Republic of Chechnya)，因为有独立媒体报道称政府正在打击同性恋，导致了无数个绑架和虐待的惨案和至少3起谋杀案。
I had experienced it before and thought that the same thing was going on. I did not think that it was on such a mass level. If they caught one man, they found two or three from his contacts. If they caught them, then another nine were caught. That's how it was happening.
我以前经历过这种事，所以就以为这次又和以前一个套路。我当时没想到这次的程度如此严重。因为这次是一旦他们抓住一个同性恋，就会通过这个人的联系网络找到两三个其他同性恋。而他们抓住这两三个人之后，就会有更多人被抓。事情就是这样发生的。

I wish I could forget it as soon as possible. It won't be forgotten here, even in Moscow. There is no way back to Chechnya, where everyone would point fingers at me.
我希望我能尽快忘记这一切。但在车臣这样的环境里是忘不掉的，即便逃到了莫斯科也忘不掉。车臣已经再也不回不去了，因为所有人都会对我指指点点。

I have heard also that the guys that had been caught were given back to their parents. The parents were told: 'Either you'll kill him or we'll kill him.' It is called to wash the disgrace away with the blood. The disgrace that such a man brought into his family.
我还听说，被抓到的同性恋会被押送回父母面前。他们的父母会被告知：“要么你们杀了他，要么我们来解决。”这就是他们所谓的用血腥来涤清羞辱，

We have worked for over 20 years, and there has not been a single case when we were found guilty of spreading lies. And the fact that the authorities call our report a provocation, and denunciation, let them prove it. We can't reveal our sources because it would be such a threat to people that they could be physically eradicated.
我们从业的20多年里，从没有谁说我们涉嫌传播虚假信息。既然当局谴责我们的报道是公然挑衅，那就拿证据吧。就算某些信息对某些人产生的威胁到要将其销毁的程度，我们还是会公布出来。
