Alvi Karimov, spokesperson for Chechnya’s leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, described the report as “absolute lies and disinformation”, basing his denial on the claim that there were no gay people in Chechnya. “You cannot detain and persecute people who simply do not exist in the republic,” he told Interfax news agency.

What a stellar argument. I generally think Kadyrov is kind of batshit, but he's probably just completely controlled opposition to look batshit and is most likely there to destroy any chance of true Chechen independence.
