British worker is detained and faces five years in Kyrgyzstan jail for comparing local sausages to horse penis


Michael Mcfeat (left), a British national working at a gold mine in Kyrgyzstan, was detained by police after posting a comment on Facebook (bottom right) in which he compared a local delicacy to horse penis. Mcfeat wrote that his Kyrgyz colleagues were queuing for their 'special delicacy, the horse's penis' during holiday celebrations, referring to a traditional horse sausage known as 'chuchuk' (top right). Mcfeat, an employee of Toronto-based Centerra Gold, now faces racial hatred charges, which can entail between three to five years in prison under Kyrgyz law.
