Kazakhstan to deny entry to pedophiles

The Prosecutor General's Office of Kazakhstan plans to obtain a database of persons who have committed child molestation in the CIS countries in 2016, the Deputy Prosecutor General, Andrei Kravchenko, said at the forum on cooperation of the Central Asian countries to counter violent extremism.

He said that the Border Service of Kazakhstan has an unconditional right to prohibit foreigners with a previous pedophilia record from entering Kazakhstan without explanation.

“If we know previous criminal records, especially if it's related to sexual abuse of underage persons, the Border Service of Kazakhstan will simply deny such people entry to Kazakhstan,” RIA Novosti cited Kravchenko as saying.
