A group of labor migrants is complaining that they were evicted from a hostel in Moscow. The number of affected individuals reaches up to a hundred people.
As reported by a labor migrant in a video message posted online, about 500 migrants were evicted from one of the hostels in Moscow. According to the video’s author, they were not even refunded the money paid for their accommodation.
The footage shows migrants with their suitcases and bags standing outside the hostel entrance.
The reason for the eviction of hundreds of migrants is still unknown. It is unclear on what grounds all the migrants were suddenly put out on the street. Whether law enforcement agencies were involved or if any operation by security forces took place is not specified.
It is worth noting that this is not the first case in Russia where labor migrants are evicted without explanation.
In recent years, labor migrants, especially citizens of Tajikistan, have repeatedly complained about pressure, persecution, problems with law enforcement officials, harsh working and living conditions, as well as rude treatment by the authorities.
