Russian news agency Regnum reports that there were 356 deaths of immigrants from Tajikistan reported in 2007. That makes two deaths less than in 2006.
69 Tajiks were murdered. The number grew by 27 deaths in contrast to the last year. 80 Tajiks died from accidents.
Just to compare: There were about 450 US casualties reported since the beginning of the Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. Safety is relative indeed.
