Kyrgyz citizens beaten in Moscow

On July 4, 2005, skinheads attacked citizens of Kyrgyzstan in Moscow. A series of attacks took place at 4/6 Akademika Pilyugina Street at about eight o'clock in the evening. First, K. Dzholdoshev and R. Kobulov were beaten, then M. Umetaliev, K. Ermekova and Ya. Islamov, the latter being quite severely ("damage to health of moderate severity"). A few minutes later, the criminals attacked S. Kozhoshev and pushed him out of the window of the 5th floor. The man died.

Unfortunately, we were unable to find any details of the attack. It is known that at least two attackers were detained and convicted of crimes motivated by ethnic hatred in May 2006.
