British worker told horse penis remark 'could have led to war' // Kyrgyzstan judge deports British miner for comparing sausage dish to horse penis
A British mine worker thrown out of Kyrgyzstan for a
remark about a local delicacy has claimed that police warned him he could have
sent the country to war with the UK. Scotsman Michael McFeat, who is now at home in Perthshire,
told the Sunday Post newspaper he had been banned from entering the former
Soviet country for five years. McFeat was held by police after posting
a picture on Facebook of Kyrgyz colleagues queuing for a chuchuk horsemeat
sausage, with a caption comparing it to a horse’s penis. He said he believed that the traditional dish was actually a
horse’s penis, but the remark offended and angered his co-workers. He told the
newspaper that he was smuggled out of the Kumtor gold mine after being informed
that an “angry lynch mob” was coming to get him.
After a nine-hour journey, during which he claims the
vehicle in which he was travelling was “rammed” by two cars, McFeat was
arrested by police at Manas airport near Bishkek and held under racial hatred
laws. “The police told me my act could send Kyrgyzstan to war with
the UK,” he said. After a court appearance and an apology, McFeat was driven to
the airport to board a flight to Edinburgh. “I was told there was a 17-page petition demanding I be
jailed, and the mine went on strike after I left, so they were making an
example of me,” McFeat told the Sunday Post. “I’ve always been up for a joke,
but this was one time I wasn’t joking and it’s been blown out of proportion.”
A British man working at a gold mine in Kyrgyzstan will
reportedly be deported after comparing a local delicacy to a horse penis. Michael McFeat who works for Canadian mining company
Centerra Gold, was detained by police after he posted a comment on Facebook
that reportedly offended staff at the mine and led to a temporary strike. In an
apology on Facebook, McFeat said: “I would like to take the opportunity to
sincerely appologise for the comment I made on here about the kygyz people and
horse’s penis. I truly never meant to offened anyone and im truly sorry as it
was never my intension. I would also like to say the people in the picture had
absolutely nothing to do with it. again im very very sorry [sic].” But by then it was too late. A judge has ordered McFeat’s deportation,
the BBC reported,
citing local media. The Foreign Office could not confirm the reports, but
said it was investigating. The US-backed Radio Azattik said the order was made at
Karakol city court in north-east Kyrgyzstan.
In his Facebook post on 31 December, McFeat posted a picture
of colleagues at the Kumtor gold mine enjoying what he described as a
“fantastic Hogmanay feast”. The post added: “The Kyrgyz people queuing out of the door
for there special delicacy the horses penis!!!” The dish McFeat was referring
to is a traditional horse sausage known as chuchuk. Radio Azattik said McFeat’s post had “caused a lot of
discontent and resentment on the part of local staff”, who demanded respect for
the traditions of the people of Kyrgyzstan, as well as an apology from the
mine’s management company. McFeat was reported to have been arrested at Manas international
airport, close to the capital Bishkek, on Sunday. He faced up to five years in
prison under Kyrgyzstan’s race hate laws. Horse meat, including offal, is a popular delicacy in both
Kyrgyzstan and neighbouring Kazakhstan, where nomadic traditions have been
revived since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
