In Osh, foreign students were detained for presenting drivers with fake checks

Employees of the service for countering extremism and illegal migration in Osh detained two foreign students who used counterfeit checks to pay for rides with public transport drivers. This became known from a statement by the Department of Internal Affairs of the southern capital.

Both students, born in 2005 and 2006, are studying at a medical university in the city. After their detention, they were taken to the department, where they had a preventive conversation.

In addition, university teachers conducted explanatory work with foreign students, reminding them of the importance of adhering to the laws of Kyrgyzstan, as well as respecting local traditions and norms of behavior.

Law enforcement agencies urged foreign citizens to avoid violations of the legislation.
