Russia deports Iranians trying to infiltrate Japan

Two Iranians have been detained at Russia’s Nakhodka trying to move to Japan. They paid a fine and were taken back to Iran, RIA Novosti reports.

The Iranians tried using the Orient Vlad cargo ship sailing under Cambodia’s flag to reach Japan on June 22. They were hiding under wooden materials.

It has been the first case of illegal Iranians this year. About 20-25 Iranians are detained in Russian ports of the Far East trying to reach Japan annually.
