'Scared' World Cup migrants face Russia deportation

Description

Like thousands of other Africans, Lamin came to Russia during the 2018 tournament on a "Fan ID" that allowed spectators to bypass the country's usual visa requirements. While most came purely to watch the football, others had plans to stay on and find work or claim asylum in Russia. But seven months after the World Cup, their hopes are dashed and the Russian interior ministry has said it is stepping up measures to deport all over-staying guests by the end of March.
