It is noted that on June 8, 2025, in the Sokolniki district of Moscow, during measures to verify the legal status of foreign citizens temporarily engaged in labor activities on the territory of the Russian Federation, reports of the use of physical force by The Russian Guard employees against citizens were widely discussed in the media.

Official information from the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation on this incident is currently expected. The Consulate General of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Representative Office of the Migration Agency in the Russian Federation have taken this situation under control.

According to available information, as a result of the raid, 5-6 people were detained, who were found to have violations of the migration regime. They were taken to the Department of Internal Affairs to clarify the circumstances. Among them are two Tajik citizens who were subsequently deported.

"Against the background of the growing interest from the Government of the Russian Federation and large employers in the organized recruitment of Uzbek citizens to work in Russia, the facts of mistreatment of foreign citizens by individual representatives of law enforcement agencies are regrettable and worrying.

If among the victims in this situation there are citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan, including those who have been injured, faced with violations of rights or other legal problems, please immediately contact the Representative Office of the Migration Agency in the Russian Federation at the following contacts: +7 925 045-47-44; Telegram: @pomoshrussiamigrant; @huquqiyy_yordam_uzbot", - the message says.
