Chikinda noted that it is still not known who these people are. Moreover, earlier they were not considered dangerous anti-LGBT, as they were engaged in psychological pressure. “They are on the website in its threats refer to the fall and murder and the persecution of some and say that it is their handiwork, but again, not proven. We tend to think that they are only informational and psychological pressure,” said Chikinda.
“Don’t panic”
The head of the movement “Alliance of heterosexuals and for LGBT equality” Christina Abramicheva in conversation with “360” explained that the Alliance is “not panicking” and continues to work as before.
Abramicheva added that if someone else from the list of “Saw” will suffer, then it can hardly be attributed to coincidence.
“While “Saw” was engaged in the intimidation of people in the networks. Failed to prove any evidence, the victims have not contacted the authorities. Was it the “Saw” or other free hunter wanting to blackmail LGBT people quite a lot, it’s a way of kind of earnings,” said Abramicheva. It is reported by the Rambler.
