A Criminal was Selling Kyrgyzstan Citizens into Slavery for $500 Each

The fact that a criminal was selling Kyrgyzstan citizens into slavery for $500 each was discovered in the Alamedin district of the Chui region. Yesterday, 6 young men from Ozernoe village reported to the police that 3 weeks ago they were deceitfully taken to Kazakhstan territory. An unidentified man who called himself “Jusup” said that he would find jobs for them in Astana. “Jusup” took them across the Kazakhstan border through a ford of the Chui river near Kamyshovka village. Then he delivered them to Astana where the villagers were enslaved. They were beaten and disgraced, they said.

Luckily, they were able to return home after a short time, where they the  reported the incident to the police. Police are searching for the suspect.
