Arrests Made During Raids in Moscow

A “preventative raid”, which targeted migrant workers in a vegetable warehouse in Moscow was overrun by angry protestors Sunday.

 

According to the BBC, more than 1, 200 people arrested during the riot.

 

The riot started during a protest over the death of an ethnic Russian man earlier that week.

 

Yegor Shcherbakov, 25, was with his girlfriend when he was killed in Moscow’s Biryulyovo district.

 

Police have release a security camera photo of the suspect, which the media has suggested looks like a man of “non-Slavic appearance”.

 

This has caused Russian Nationals to assume that the killer was a Muslim Migrant.            

 

Immigration and international migration were two main topics discussed in Moscow’s recent election.
