Kyrgyzstan Sends Protest Note to Russia After Beating of Migrants in Moscow
In a Moscow bathhouse, security forces forced Kyrgyz citizens face down and beat them. Bishkek responds with official protest.
A high-profile incident involving Kyrgyz migrants occurred in Moscow. In one of the capital’s bathhouses, a group of Kyrgyz citizens was subjected to a harsh raid — they were forced face down on the floor and beaten without charges or document checks. Preliminary reports state that a local resident complaint triggered the operation.
Footage shows individuals being violently pinned to the tiled floor by law enforcement. Witnesses say most of the detainees did not resist and had committed no violations. Many had passports and legal registration, which did not stop the security forces' actions.
The incident sparked outrage in Kyrgyzstan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially submitted a protest note to the Russian side, demanding explanations and accountability for those responsible. Bishkek described the actions of Russian security forces as degrading and a violation of international norms.
Kyrgyz authorities also called for the protection of their citizens’ rights in Russia and a thorough investigation. The Kyrgyz Embassy in Moscow has become involved and is providing legal support to the victims.
This case is the latest in a series of tense incidents involving migrants in Russia, drawing criticism from human rights advocates. Observers believe such actions undermine trust in law enforcement and exacerbate interethnic tensions.
