The Embassy of Uzbekistan in Russia has reported on the situation involving 15 Uzbek nationals who were detained in the Moscow region and have been held in police custody for four days. According to diplomats, these individuals were residing in Russia illegally and will soon be deported from the country.
The situation came to light after a video was posted on the Telegram channel Bastion, which reported the unlawful detention of 15 Uzbek citizens at Police Station No. 5 of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Odintsovo Urban District for more than four days. In response to this information, on August 8, representatives from the Consular Department of the Embassy of Uzbekistan visited the police station to clarify the details.
During the visit, it was established that the detention of the 15 Uzbek nationals occurred as a result of a raid conducted by the Main Directorate for Migration Issues. All the detainees were found to be working in the Moscow region without the required legal documents.
On August 9, the migrants will be transferred to the Temporary Detention Center for Foreign Nationals of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for further deportation from the Russian Federation.
The Embassy of Uzbekistan strongly urges Uzbek citizens planning to travel to Russia, or those already in the country for work, to strictly adhere to the host country’s laws. Failure to comply with migration regulations can result in serious legal consequences, including deportation and a ban on re-entry into the country in the future.
