Russia Begins Deporting Tajiks Amid Diplomatic Row

would solve a lot of problems if they were deported from afghanistan.

Roadrunner with his usual rants....again.

A think tank level post.

A Tajik court found them guilty of illegally flying into Tajikistan and smuggling aircraft parts, and sentenced them to 8 1/2 years in prison. Their two An-72 aircraft were seized.

What a bogus accusation to be made to begin with..they were transporting to Afghanistan not Tajikistan..secondly...how could they be flying over Tajikistan without the help of ground control ?

so not Germany or other places?

As others have pointed out, it's worse in Russia than most places in Europe. As a whole, Eastern Europe is much more xenophobic and non-accepting of immigrants and other foreigners. This is partly because Eastern Europe has much more developing nations and poverty than Western Europe.
