Dozens of Kyrgyz citizens banned from entering Russia after Crocus City Hall attack

Kyrgyzstan's Deputy Foreign Minister Almaz Imangaziev has said that Russia banned the entry of 69 Kyrgyz citizens after the March 22 terrorist attack at the Moscow-based Crocus City Hall concert hall.

“Some were on the blacklist. Others flew to Russia for the first time but were expelled from the country without evidence. Russian security forces have the right not to allow a foreigner into the Russian Federation if his appearance does not inspire confidence,” he said, 24.kg reports.

According to him, since March 23, several Kyrgyzstanis returned from Russian airports; they paid for the return flight themselves.
