After the growing number of pregnant russian women who arrive at Ezeiza (this Friday the entrance to four of them was enabled), Victor Ramosthe mentor of the creation of the Inadi during the administration of Carlos Menem and president of SOS International Discriminationexpressed his strong repudiation of the arrest of Russian citizens, and demanded that be granted asylum to any shelter from the war between Russia and Ukraine.

“SOS International Discrimination repudiates the police action of the National Directorate of Migrations for the iunusual retention of pregnant women of Russian origin who recently appeared at the Ezeiza airport escaping from war“, Ramos began his discharge, published in the magazine big homeland.

“This action by the immigration authorities of our country constitutes a Flagrant violation of international treaties on the figure of the refuge to which Argentina adheres, which must immediately provide asylum and protection to women and even more so if they are pregnant.

Four Russian women detained in Ezeiza entered the country: another two will remain detained

And he added a request for INADI intervention to “make visible the situation to which these women are subjected whose crime was traveling tens of miles to save their lives and that of their children.”

“It is absurd to maintain that they lived in our country because the health system is free or that they entered with a tourist visa. How important is it! Some officials do not even read the newspapers and with these arguments they show their xenophobia.

The concern of Migrations about Russian pregnant women

“There are three that entered before yesterday (on Thursday) and three more stayed on the flight last night”, explained Florencia Carignano, director of Migrations, a Tennessee. In this sense, he reported that they are people who arrive “alone” and are between the 33rd and 34th week of pregnancy.

Russian pregnant | For Florencia Carignano, “the problem is that they arrive, have children and leave Argentina”

Christian Rubilar, lawyer for one of the detained Russian women, assured that the figure of “false tourist” is not contemplated within Argentine law, so I would like the arrest to be “ridiculous”.

Carignano, for his part, expressed his “concern” about this growing arrival of Russian women who come to the country to have their children. In this way, precisely, in the last time10,500 Russian women who had their children in Argentina entered, but seven thousand of them no longer reside in the country.

“They want to come to Argentina to give their children a passport that will allow them to enter 171 countries and receive a visa for 10 years.”, said Carignano in a dialogue with Argentina by C5N.

According to the Director of Migrations, This would be a “problem” for Argentines in the future because countries could begin to change the income of Argentine citizens. For this very reason, attacked the “mafias” that organize birth tourism trips and they got them to “take action on it.”
