The Ministry of Labour, Migration and Employment of Tajikistan has said that a large number of Tajik workers were leaving Russia after the terrorist attack on a concert hall in Moscow which left dozens dead.
The four suspects arrested in connection with Mosco’s March 22 attacks were identified as Tajik citizens. The Tajik government also took 9 persons into custody regarding the same incident.
“We receive a lot of calls. These are most likely not complaints about harassment, but fear of our citizens, panic, and many want to leave. We are now monitoring the situation, we have more people coming (to Tajikistan) than leaving,” Shakhnoza Nodiri, deputy head of the ministry, was quoted by Russian state news agency TASS as saying.
