Calling Kyrgyzstan sausage ‘horse penis’ a hate crime

British miner working in Kyrgyz gold mine for Canadian company kicked out of country after Facebook remark on chuchuk. Miners reacted to equine comment with a temporary strike.

The miner faced up to five years in prison under Kyrgyzstan “race hate laws.”

And the British miner is also part of a plot to melt Kyrgyz glaciers and pretty much fork up the whole country.

“Prominent Kyrgyz historian and publicist Kyias Moldokasymov wrote on Facebook: ‘The guy who mocked chuchuk must definitely be punished! And don't you think that those who are destroying Kyrgyz glaciers and creating irreparable damage to our environment while taking natural wealth out of the country are also laughing at us and asking, 'What can you do about it?' must also be punished?"

There might just be a bit of anti-foreigner bias at work.
