DUSHANBE, May 14, Asia-Plus - The bodies of two labor migrants, found on the Kharkovsky Proyezd tin Moscow on May 6, have been identified.

Muhammad Egamzod, press secretary of the Tajik Embassy in Moscow, says they proved to be citizens of Uzbekistan.     

We will recall that the bodies of two labor migrants with brain injures were found on the Kharkovsky Proyezd, southern Moscow in the morning of May 6.      

   Moscow law enforcement authorities are considering several versions of the incident and according to one of the versions, they were killed in n apparently racially motivated attack.  Two persons were arrested on suspicion of having been involved in that crime.  

Russia’s RIA Novosti said that Russian and foreign human rights groups have raised concerns over growing xenophobic sentiments in the country in recent years.   According to RIA Novosti, people with non-Slavic features have repeatedly been attacked in apparently racially motivated crimes in Moscow, St. Petersburg and in many cases in the Central Russian city of Voronezh, home to many universities with foreign students.
