Maximum punishment

The chairman of the Union of Tajikists of Russia, in a conversation with, said that he condemns the act of two migrants who attacked policemen in the metropolitan metro.

“Honestly, it always surprises me when some criminal commits a crime, and for some reason the press mainly pays attention to his nationality, as if others do not commit a crime. Naturally, they committed a crime, and such an out of the ordinary crime, if they attack law enforcement officers. What can be our reaction? Naturally, the conviction and demand from the investigative and law enforcement agencies the maximum punishment in accordance with the current legislation,” he said.

Davlatov stressed that any person who committed a crime should be punished regardless of his nationality. He added that such offenses in the Union of Tajiks are treated "absolutely negatively."

“It's interesting that we see other crimes that get little attention. After the statement of the governor of the Kaluga region, it was practically a “face” order - and the local population there had already begun to attack visitors. For some reason, this is not covered anywhere, it is not mentioned anywhere,” he added.

Davlatov believes that everyone, regardless of nationality and citizenship, who attack doctors during the performance of their official duties, should also be punished. And those "who simply attack citizens commit crimes."

“And how can you relate to this? Recently, a few months ago, a citizen of Tajikistan was riding a bicycle, his throat was cut, simply because he was not born there, with the wrong skin color. Well, this is a crime, and there is a crime, and there is a crime. And, of course, we treat such disgusting behavior, such offenses, criminal offenses absolutely negatively, ”concluded the chairman of the Union of Tajiks of Russia.
