Between two fires or Uzbeks in Russia

Fergana. oO, Elena Rjabinina, 04.05.2006  Lena-Mom, I am captured by police again!». These words frequently spoken from the phone rises me up in the morning, continually I hear them from mobile phone in the afternoon and in the late evening. The calls are made by Refugees, almost always by Uzbeks: last years the lion's share of those who ran from the country from prosecutions on political or religious motives, were mostly citizens of Uzbekistan.About repressive character of the present Uzbek mode is told and written so much that there is no need to repeat obviously. It is much less known about the positions of the Uzbek refugees in Russia.People who have managed to be rescued from prosecutions on the native land, seriously hope to find protection and safety for themselves and their relatives in here. Among them, there are members of the democratic opposition and the human rights defenders, witnesses of the Andizhan tragedy and even those who were not accepting participation in any general in the public life of the Uzbekistan, simply observed the ceremonies ordered by islam. Each of them after the arrival to Russia is doomed to test a shock of that fact that on this huge, half empty territories do not have any place for them. The majority of them leaves the native land, hardly having found means for road. Many of them run from direct threat of arrest, having left houses and families with expectations to reunite as soon as will be arranged on a new place."Device" begins from that fact, that on the fourth day after arrival they appear guilty of an administrative offence - staying in the territory of the Russian Federation without registration on which the law allocates only three days. Even if imagine that in Russia the native aunt of the refugee waits for him with impatience, ready to shelter the apartment it is practically improbable for her to have time to register him only in three days.But, as a rule, human rights defenders from Kokand and farmers from Karshi, from Namangan and gapers from Bobura area in Andizhan are not present devout moslems native aunts neither in Moscow, nor in Arzamas, and Novosibirsk. But at the stations and at their airports there are respectable swindlers with not smaller impatience offering "completely officially" for a pair of hours to issue registration under the similar price. On it frequently there leaves a fair share of the money brought with self. It is still good, if the rest will suffice to pay off from the first militiaman on point duty who will soon stop «the person of the Asian nationality» for checking of a passport system. (In brackets we shall notice, that employees of a patrol - sentry duty are not authorized to do that). Otherwise, most likely, business will be terminated or drawing up of the report on infringement of rules of stay of foreign citizens in the Russian Federation and transfer of materials to court which for 5 minutes will stamp the decision about exclusion from Russia, or - by excitation of criminal case for use of obviously false document. What from these two is malicious for the person who has run from of mode of man-eater Karimov, to consider as a smaller?We admit, nevertheless, that was possible to avoid safely a meeting with sentry hunters for brunettes or to pay off from them and to reach migratory service, to submit the petition for granting the status of the refugee. Here the most interesting will begin, and, with variations - depending on in what region of Russia there was a person looking for refuge.In Moscow he will be suggested to be on interview equally to 10 am at the morning in the appointed day to in 2009 year. In a municipal government of Federal migratory service people obligatory, not suffering sloppiness work, therefore, just in case, in the text of the invitation there is an instruction: «Absence without the valid reason in due time on interview is considered refusal of the applicant of passage of procedure. Repeated purpose of date of interview is excluded».In Nizhni Novgorod the visitor at once will direct to have a talk with the employee of FSB whom I oppress from him will take out, finding out whom else from the Uzbek refugees knows again arrived where they live, than are engaged, and if someone from them appeared in Ukraine, whether that he supports "orange" communications or not. Easiest and absolutely way is to act like that, for example, Tyumen migration service: will pull out on light the divine inquiry of the Uzbek State Office of Public Prosecutor about delivery searched «for an encroachment on constitutional build» in the way of 5-fold fulfilment of namaz (because of what he actually ran from the native land) and will request opinion of Regional management of FSB on his account. Then on the basis of the data received therefrom, what in Uzbekistan, appears (?!), already «the death penalty» is cancelled and «practice of political prosecutions of persons is stopped in connection with change of a rate of the country», will give up to the applicant in consideration of his petition. There is nothing to talk, that the applicant first of all appears as the prisoner under the guard, since «It is necessary to provide an opportunity of delivery to his law enforcement bodies of Republic Uzbekistan». In pre-trial detention center of Tyumen the ninth month "enjoys" such "refuge" the former student - economist of Samarkand university Bajramali Jusupov deducted therefrom because of the diligence in observance of Muslim ceremonies.If this danger passed also the application on granting the status is accepted to consideration in three months on it the answer will be received with the formulation which confidently can predict any of the lawyers working in the field of migration : «To you it refused in a recognition by the refugee in territory of the Russian Federation as to the person who is not adequate to criteria of concept the refugee it agrees item 1 of item 1 of an item 1 of the Federal law «About refugees». The humour here consists that this item 1 of item 1 of an item 1 of the mentioned law recognizes as criteria of concept "refugee" those reasons on which the applicant has been compelled to leave the native land in this case is pertinent. But, as any of constitutions of the countries CIS does not provide prosecutions on the basis of race, creeds, nationalities, accessories to the certain social group or political convictions and to prove them it appears there is nothing. The forged criminal cases killed or crippled relatives, shadowing children and direct threats on the part of employees Services of National Security and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan - not arguments in this dispute of the person with state machine.Nevertheless, the submission of the petition - is necessary step . While it is considered and then received refusal is challenged in court, the person is not subject to deportation, as the person looking for refuges.To tell the truth this is not known by militiamen in whom the kind of not slavic person causes the strongest inflow of ardent patriotism («not always know about it have come in large numbers here!») together with sharp suspiciousness («all of them are gangsters and terrorists!»). Therefore quite often after the first "Lena - mom" I hear habitual continuation with the Uzbek accent: «he has told, I illegal, have told, my document false!». As it has been noticed above, cool this «law-enforcement mulled wine» the state treasury note of the Russian Federation or telephone conversation from which man struggle against illegal migration will understand can only what exactly "non-russian" is better for releasing this, differently efforts will not be gathered with claims annoying human rights defenders. And every time, "picking out" the next ward from the next police station, I give myself the report, that for the missed extraction the on duty order will render to itself doubly up to the end of change.

But all in the nature certainly already conclusive, and a waiting time of last refusal in granting the status in Russia - also. It is good still if by this moment the refugee who has had suffered much «friendship of peoples» on most I cannot, not killed and not crippled shortly short-haired «fine hooligans» in boots on an armo-piercing sole, has had time to address in UNHCR. There, after interviews and the checks borrowing not only one month, maybe will receive treasured dark blue "crust" - the certificate of the person who are taking place under the international protection. In this case he has chance though sometime to appear in that point of globe where color of hair and a cut of his eyes are not considered as the criminal.And if is not, then sooner or later, a result of his purgatories becomes inevitable the receiver - allocator for the persons subject to administrative exclusion (as a matter of fact - the same prison). And, as soon as his relatives and familiar will save up money to the air ticket up to solar Uzbekistan, he will step into the native ground which has once left because of fatal threat. We shall be truthful and fair - not always in circles of the hell refugee pays returning at own expenses. If in the time being of staying in Russia he has accidentally had time to touch notorious "vertical", let it even be the lowermost part do not allow to worry - all expenses will be undertaken. Same thing happened with one of the students of the HIGH SCHOOL of Kazan, with Marseilles Isaev, who has refused to lie in court though he was urgently "asked" about it by authorized operative of Kazan from The authority of rights by organized crime, Kirichenko. Operas appeared so operative, that Marseilles was sent to Tashkent for g-sort before the migratory service has had time to give up for him in the status. Intervention Russian ombudsman has not helped even to V.P.Lukina to whom in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tatarstan have answered, that they cannot make anything, since the exclusion by Isaeva is supervised by their "accessory manufacturers". Hardly there is a necessity to explain, like - such "accessory manufacturers" meant in this case.However, it is still florets. Berries get those whom the Uzbek colleagues of Russian "accessory manufacturers" have declared in search on accusations in disloyalty to mode Karimova. And, it's not important what this disloyality has been seen - whether in human rights activity, or in observance of religious practices either in just simple that "criminal" appeared related to someone from victims in the Andizhan massacre - not to mention about those who went for work by area Borbura in the morning on May 13th 2005 t does not help even that a person intended in as a victim on an altar of friendship of the Uzbek and Russian presidents, by the moment of the Andizhan tragedy for a long time was in Russia. Time has got in a round-up - do not collect: surnames by fax - there (to Tashkent, i.e.), the decision about search and inquiry about delivery - again, and everything will be smooth. It took place in June of the last year in Ivanovo with 14 Uzbeks that would send on punishment for a long time by Russian justice authorities , if it wasn't the noise lifted to the world by harmful human rights activists. And so - my respect to dear State Office of Public Prosecutor of the Russian Federation compelled this time, under supervision of press and NGO, strictly to follow procedure. To tell the truth, not looking back too much on international law which in general forbids compulsory returning in the countries where tortures and a death penalty are applied.As concerning the Russian rights, in particular, the Constitution which excludes ex-tradition of citizens of Russia - here, as they say, « do not create yourself an idol ». If there was a person to inquire on about it and citizenship of the Russian Federation - not finger prints: today we have it- tomorrow we don't. The script of this performance is fulfilled up to trifles: all that is necessary for achievement of result - information, that are interested by National security services, the subject ostensibly once was received the Uzbek citizenship which then has ostensibly hidden at acceptance by Russians. To one of the Ivanovo prisoners, Hatam Hadjimatov, Uzbek participating in his detention in the civilian has told: « Are you a citizen of Russia? Right! Look at your Russian passport last time - you will not see it anymore. We shall make you an Uzbek passport and a registration in the center of Tashkent. Admit, that you are involved to Andizhan - you will be confined for 10 years and then you will be free. And if you don't agree - you have only yourself to blame ».This defender of the rights of the authority on shooting of compatriots has executed the first part of the promise - Hatam has not seen his passport anymore, but he has learned, that the court on the basis of the lime data sent from Uzbekistan has made the decision on illegality of the reception. But with the second half of the forecasts, fortunately, IAEIAAISEA has left - Hadjimatov in these days in Ukraine and there are under protection by UNHCR.He has essentially less carried to his predecessor, Alisher Usmanov. He as well as Huts, never was the citizen of Uzbekistan, but in his case Vahitovskii the regional court of Kazan was not considered necessary to read up the Uzbek law on citizenship up to a key place where it is spoken about necessity of the will of the applicant. Probably, the role of the Soviet habit played that in Tashkent things cannot be differently, than in Moscow: time has been registered in territory of the country for date of the introduction of the law valid, meaning, the citizen. In general, Usmanov's Russian citizenship has been safely cancelled. Himself in that day of clearing after departure of term the thrown ammunition has been stolen directly from Kazan the remand prison, which later was put in the plane and as was declared in press-service SNB, «convoyed to Uzbekistan according to joints from FSB of Russia to the plan on struggle against the international terrorism ». Amusing, that the State Office of Public Prosecutor of the Russian Federation knowing questions of ex-tradition (which - it is extreme its prerogatives), about it knew nothing. However the management of Russian Limitary, assured the human rights, that by names the account of the persons crossing our vigilantly protected boundaries, is not conducted - therefore to find out - we know nothing, and by appearence we do not remember. So, Why would Alisher - have an urge to make extreme - round on a route: SIZO Kazan - SIZO Tashkent - SIZO Namangan - a colony of a strict mode in Karshi, and why did he lodged there for 8 years - only god knows …Yes, a lot can be told about friendship of modes and destinies of their citizens, but - forgive me dear reader, the phone is ringing:- Hello, Lena - Mom! How are you, how is health? Ravshan, lets get to the point - it's one o'clock in the morning. What branch?
