The head of the Council for Human Rights under the President of Russia, Valery Fadeev, called on the mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin to understand the signs in the Tajik and Uzbek languages at the Sakharovo and Lesoparkovaya metro stations, from where the buses go to the Sakharovo migration center.
The chairman of the HRC sent a letter to Sobyanin with a request to consider the complaint of local residents and inform him of the measures taken.
In a statement, the SPC is quoted by one of the complaints received, on the basis of which Fadeev decided to contact Sobyanin: “The residents are particularly irritated by the inscriptions on the signs in the Prozhino metro station in the Uzbek and Tajik languages. Instead of a policy on the integration of migrants into society and local culture, we create all the conditions for a comfortable residence of visitors without knowledge and knowledge of the Russian language. ”
According to Fadeev himself, such a decision contradicts the provisions of the Federal Law “On the State Language of the Russian Federation”, as well as clause 44 of the standard rules for using the metro. “In addition, it is unclear how the appearance of these signs is consistent with the requirement for labor migrants to speak the Russian language,” says Valery Fadeev in a letter to Sergey Sobyanin.
