In Russia, OMON disrupted an Uzbek performer’s concert to conduct a raid

In the Krasnoyarsk region, security forces broke into Uzbek pop singer Jaloliddin Ahmadaliyev’s concert and conducted a search to identify illegal migrants. The Migration Agency under the Cabinet of Ministers commented on the situation.

The incident occurred in the village of Solontsy in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The Omonis burst into the event, which was supposed to be held at the “Coron” restaurant, where more than 600 guests gathered. In the footage circulated on social media, it is noticeable that law enforcement officers are conducting document checks and searches, including with dogs, with a group of men standing shoulder to shoulder, after which they were escorted out of the building.

It is noted that law enforcement officers checked 620 people, 210 of whom turned out to be foreigners. Law enforcement officers did not discover any items or substances prohibited for free circulation. At the same time, 26 people were taken to the police station. Law enforcement officers discovered that eight of them were in Russia illegally. Based on the results of the inspection, law enforcement officers registered 19 administrative protocols for violations of the rules of stay in the country, as well as collected three materials under the article for fictitious registration.

The Migration Agency also commented on the incident, stating that a lawyer was sent to the country to protect citizens’ rights.

To protect the rights and interests of our citizens, the Agency’s representative office in Russia has sent a licensed lawyer. “Currently, this case is being investigated within the framework of the current legislation of the Russian Federation”, — the department noted.

Earlier, it was reported that Russia might cancel the patent system for migrant employment. The country’s president called the migration sphere “sensitive” for Russians.
