Following a deadly terror attack on Moscow's Crocus City concert hall, four men from Tajikistan were accused by Russian authorities. The attack led to disturbing videos surfacing on social media showing police brutally abusing the alleged attackers. This incident has triggered a wave of xenophobia towards Central Asian migrant workers in Russia.
Reports indicate instances of discrimination, such as people refusing services from individuals of Tajik descent and threats directed at businesses where the alleged attackers were employed. The situation has prompted concerns about the treatment of migrant workers in Russia.
