Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — Comedian Nurlan Saburov has been banned from entering Russia for 50 years, according to RIA Novosti and TASS citing law enforcement authorities.

The decision was reportedly made in the interests of national security, compliance with legislation, and the protection of traditional moral and spiritual values.

Sources indicate that the restrictions are related to Saburov’s criticism of the special military operation, as well as violations of migration and tax laws.
