Former residents of the centers told reporters that the conditions for "high concrete walls" are similar to "prisons designed for alcoholics and drug addicts". People are forced to pray and swim in the river in cold weather, and give neuroleptics. In Russia, where the LGBTK+ community is recognized as extremist, some parents pay bandits to steal their children and send them to private camps for "treatment" with conversion therapy. About it reports Washington Post.

Former residents of such camps told reporters that the conditions for "high concrete walls" are similar to "prisons designed for alcoholics and drug addicts". 23-year-old Ada Blaikwell told about the methods of work of such "camps". According to her, her parents deceived her to an annual course in a medical center in the Altai region of the Russian Federation. Conversion therapy lasted from August 2022 until May 2023.

In the center of Blakewell, they were forced to pray and swim in the river in cold weather. In addition, according to the publication, she was forced to "cut firewood and help cut chickens, turkeys and pigs. " She was also given neuroleptics, "intended for people with mental illness. " Journalists also talked with 28-year-old Alexandra, a transgender woman from Moscow, who was forcibly kept by wealthy parents in a number of centers.

She spent 20 months in the Moscow "medical institution" with 60 addicts and alcoholics, which used a rigid program to combat addiction. According to Global Equality Caucus, an international legislator network that supports equal rights for LGBTK+ people, conversion therapy has been banned in 22 US states and 12 countries. We will remind, earlier it was reported that in Russia the Supreme Court found extremist and forbade the movement of LGBT.
