The Chinese Embassy in Russia on Friday (August 4) criticized Russia's "barbaric law enforcement" to block Chinese citizens 'entry and harm Chinese citizens' rights and interests, so that they would negotiate with Russia.
The "Chinese Embassy in Russia" WeChat public account posted on Friday that five Chinese citizens planned to drive from Kazakhstan in Karaham in Astraham on July 29 when they entered RussiaIn the case of obstruction, it was canceled the tourist visa and refused to enter the country.After receiving a call for help, the Chinese Embassy Consular Consulgically understood the original committee, appeased the emotions of the parties, and asked Russia to apply for signing and providing entry convenience for the parties.
On August 2, the Embassy learned from the video uploaded by the parties that Russian border guards conducted a four -hour review of Chinese citizens.The relevant departments of the Chinese Embassy have therefore met with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Federal Affairs Administration, and the Federal General Security Administration and other departments.
The Chinese Embassy said that this is inconsistent with the current friendliness of China -Russia relations, and it is inconsistent with the increasingly close friendly exchanges between the two countries.
The Chinese Embassy requests Russia to find out the cause of the incident immediately, take positive measures, make every effort to eliminate the bad effects, and ensure that similar incidents have not occurred later.The Chinese Embassy also requested Russia to further investigate over -law enforcement behaviors to give China a satisfactory reply.
According to Chinese news, Russia said that the above incident is a single incident. Russia welcomes Chinese citizens to Russia, and has no discrimination policies and actions to Chinese citizens.After preliminary verification, the reason for the rejection of entry is that "the relevant Chinese citizen visa application does not match the destination and the actual destination, and it violates the relevant Russian laws and regulations."

Their luggage was inspected three times and was also asked to display everything in the luggage.
Jin Wenxin said that they plan to visit Azerbaijan and Georgia, and then go to Turkey. Before the departure, they have obtained all necessary documents such as visa and driving permits.However, after more than four hours of the border, Russian officials still rejected their entry for reasons such as "incomplete procedures" and "violation of the immigration law".
He said that after they were rejected, they were also asked to collect fingerprints, iris and photos. "We really feel that we are treated like prisoners."They refused to obey, so they were asked to return to Kazakhstan within 10 minutes, and the whole journey took more than seven hours.He said that this made him "deeply realize that the friendship between China and Russia is so profound."
