A rising star of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), Khavaj fled Chechnya for Brussels when his brother discovered his homosexuality and promised to kill him, under the pressure of the persecution by Kadyrov's regime. With the shock of exile, Khavah has become mute, and keeps only one link with Chechnya: the voice messages his mother sends him.
