Russia to film migrant deportations

Russia’s Federal Bailiff Service (FSSP) is expected to get new tools to record the work of its agents, a preliminary document published on the official portal of the country’s legislature has indicated.

The enforcement arm of the country’s Ministry of Justice is set to introduce mandatory video recording in multiple situations, ranging from bringing court dodgers before judges and guarding judiciary facilities to deporting foreigners who have forfeited their right to stay in the country.

In the latter case, mandatory video recording will be carried out both while those subject to deportation are brought to a holding center pending expulsion, as well as while such individuals are transferred to border checkpoints.
