[KavkazUzel] At the Temernik market in Rostov-on-Don, security forces found 16 foreigners who violated the rules of stay in Russia, and 18 people who received citizenship but did not register with the military. In the Volgograd region, 45 violators of migration laws were identified during raids. Sending migrants to the front does not look like a mass phenomenon, human rights activists pointed out, commenting on reports from Rostov security forces about serving summonses on migrants following raids after the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall. As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, following the results of raids by security forces after the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, they reported massive violations of migration legislation. Thus, in the Rostov region, 46 citizens of Central Asia were ordered to leave Russia. In Rostov-on-Don, 913 people were checked, of which 545 were citizens of the Russian Federation, 150 people received summonses to the military registration and enlistment office, 39 people were brought to administrative responsibility, of which 25 were foreign citizens. Human rights activists called the fight for the legality of migration ostentatious, emphasizing that the actions of security forces and court decisions on fines and expulsion often have neither legal grounds nor logical explanations. In their opinion, sending migrants to the front does not look like a mass phenomenon. During raids at one of the clothing markets in Rostov-on-Don, law enforcement officers checked about 200 people, among whom were foreigners, as well as persons who had recently received citizenship of the Russian Federation, Kommersant reported today with reference to the Military Investigation Department of the RF Investigative Committee for Southern Military District. "Based on the results of checks in the market, 18 naturalized citizens were identified who had not registered with the military. All of them were sent to military commissariats. In addition, 16 foreign citizens were brought to administrative responsibility for violations of the rules of entry into the Russian Federation and the regime of stay in our country, for violation of the deadline for applying for a patent and for evading expulsion from the territory of the Russian Federation,” the publication quotes the department’s message. The inspection was carried out on the territory of the market in Temernik, Donnews reported today. Since the beginning of the year, over 300 naturalized citizens have been registered with the military in the Rostov region. Contracts for military service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were concluded by 23 people who recently received citizenship and 12 foreigners, the message emphasizes with reference to the department. Security forces in the Volgograd region also reported on inspections. Today, raids “on places of concentration of foreign workers” took place in the Gorodishchensky and Ilovlinsky districts, more than 300 foreigners were checked, the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Volgograd Region reported. "Based on the results, 45 foreigners were identified who violated migration legislation, they were brought to justice. Among them, 18 foreigners carried out labor activities illegally - without a work permit or patent. They were brought to justice under Article 18.10 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation - “Illegal exercise by a foreign citizen or person stateless labor activity in the Russian Federation,” as stated in the department’s Telegram channel. In relation to 34 foreign citizens, the courts of the Volgograd region made a decision on administrative expulsion from the territory of the Russian Federation, the message emphasizes. Previously, human rights activists have repeatedly pointed out violations of the rights of migrants in the regions of southern Russia. In particular, in August 2016, 108 migrants went on a hunger strike in a special temporary detention facility for foreigners in the Sochi village of Vardane. On October 17, 2023, it became known that police in Ingushetia unlawfully fined a woman who was not involved in it for violating immigration laws. At the same time, more than 10 years ago, Russian human rights activists opposed the campaign launched in the country against illegal migrants. Migration problems in Russia are extremely acute. There is no scientifically based and clearly formulated concept of migration policy, human rights activist Svetlana Gannushkina* noted earlier in her report.
