Uzbekistan adopts law restricting entry of foreign citizens who undermine its sovereignty
In accordance with the amendments adopted by deputies, foreign citizens who undermine Uzbekistan’s sovereignty, integrity, and security, incite enmity, or insult the nation’s dignity, values, or history will be banned from entering the country.
Members of the Legislative Chamber have adopted, on the third reading, a bill defining the grounds and procedures for deeming the stay of certain foreign citizens and stateless persons in Uzbekistan as undesirable.
The bill was developed on the legislative initiative of a group of deputies. It entails amendments and additions to the law "On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens and Stateless Persons in the Republic of Uzbekistan."
Under this law, actions or public statements that are against the state sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security of Uzbekistan, or that incite interstate, social, national, racial, or religious enmity, or insult the dignity, value, or history of the Uzbek people can be the basis for declaring a person's stay in the Republic of Uzbekistan as undesirable.
Additionally, the proposed legislation seeks to prohibit such foreign citizens or stateless persons from entering Uzbekistan, opening bank accounts, purchasing real estate, participating in the privatization of state property, and engaging in financial and contractual relations for a period of five years. The bill also outlines the bases and procedures for the deportation of individuals whose presence in the country is considered undesirable.
