Footballer Mohamed Salah is facing anger after he accepted a gift of honorary Chechen citizenship from anti-gay leader Ramzan Kadyrov. Gay people in the region allegedly faced arrest, torture, and execution – as the Head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov publicly insisted that homosexuals are “not people” and should be removed to “purify” the blood of the region. LGBT fans reacted with horror today as Egyptian footballer Mohamed Salah accepted the gift of honorary citizenship of Chechnya presented by Kadyrov during the World Cup.
