Moscow police officers broke the door to the apartment of a Kyrgyz diplomat and beat his wife, Astra media reports.

Police officers broke into the apartment of Manas Zholdoshbekov, counselor of the Kyrgyz Embassy in Moscow, demanding to see documents on migration registration.

Zholdoshbekov and his family members showed their diplomatic passports, but this did not stop the police. They beat up the diplomat's wife.

According to Kyrgyz Supreme Council deputy Dastan Bekeshev, "no one was hurt, but there was an incident," but he added, "the Russian police must have gone wild."

"If they do this to embassy staff, I can't even imagine what they do to citizens without immunity," the deputy said.

The Kyrgyz Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed concern over the actions of Moscow police officers and handed Russian diplomats a note. In their opinion, the Russian police officers grossly violated the provisions of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961.

At a meeting with the Counselor-Consul of the Russian Embassy Andrey Buryevoy, the Kyrgyz side noted that "such actions against accredited employees of the diplomatic mission of the Kyrgyz Republic by law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation are unacceptable, require thorough investigation and bringing the guilty parties to justice as soon as possible."

In response, Buryevoy expressed regret.
