Clarification: Riz is still being operated on. Operation has gone well for the most part. He has widespread minor tissue damage, but some severe permanent organ damage; apparently it's to the extent that one of his kidneys will no longer be functional.
So some things to clarify: The family knows who did this, and are trying to contact the authorities in their respective countries on what the legal recourse is. They're "out for blood" according to the family-friend.
Details are not being shared on these individuals as, like he's said, they're still seeking a legal recourse against the people who hurt their son. And yes, there is evidence of what they did to Rizzy. Like all super clever hooligans, they recorded themselves doing it.
Update: Riz is presently about to finish surgery. He will need to be kept in recovery and observation for a week, after which his family will take him to his grandparents(?) place that's off the grid where he will be safe.
The family requested I delete my tweet leading to his donation page for now.
Final updates for now as the family is going to be turning in after being up for nearly 24 hours: Doctors found the kidneys aren't as badly damaged and they first thought and suggest they may be healed over time. He will have to avoid drinking anything but water for months.
However his liver needs to be treated as it still swelling; they will be monitoring it for failure. The surgery was to purge his digestive tract of the remaining chemicals.
Since a lot of the tissue in his intestines were badly damaged, they got rid of most of it.
Riz's family has posted a statement on his account that can be somewhat machine-translated here.https://twitter.com/rizzydraws/status/1008462843228966912?s=19 …

NAME AND SHAME NAME AND SHAME NAME AND SHAME
no. that makes us no better than them. name and arrest. to the cops.
you got a point, but thats only if theyre in the same country
Given that they’re looking to press charges, there’s a likelihood that they are in the same country. I’m not sure how cross-border legal stuff works overseas.
Thank you for the updates dude. I’m so glad Rizzy is “okay” (as much as he can be rn) and that the person who did this is known.
eye for an eye. They should release the info they have on the guy and let him be lynched by the mob.
it's better to be the better person. not only for moral reasons but also to prevent escalation. De don't want an eye for an eye for an eye.
fuck that, time for people to learn the lesson that actions have consequences
do you want more lgbt people in conservative countries attempt suicide because they got doxed? because that's how you get that. calmer minds have to prevail if we want to break the cycle.
also, by reacting with an eye for an eye we'd be legitimising their criminal and abhorent behaviour.
They should be doxed by ending up in court and being thrown into prison
oooh... I very much agree with that. the person should get their just desserts. but that's no the same as doxing and sending a lynch mob after them.
