DUSHANBE, November 11, 2013, Asia-Plus -- A concert of Tajik rapper, Master Ismail, has reportedly been wrecked in Moscow.

One of organizers of the concert, Aslisho Akimbekov, says that during the concert, which was taking place in the Moscow Hall Club yesterday, 600 people, who came to the Moscow Hall Club, smelled a pepper gas.  One of the guards walked out on the stage and said that the concert is over.

Akimbekov asks the concert spectators who shot the concert with video cameras or mobile phones to send the files to his e-mail.  He also asks those who suffered after pepper spraying to apply to the hospital and send the medical examination results to him as he wants to file a lawsuit against the Moscow Hall Club employees.  “We will prove them that we are also human being and what’s happened is illegal,” Akimbekov noted on his Facebook account.

Meanwhile Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency reports that the concert spectators smelled a pepper gas during the second part of the concert.  One of guards of the club reportedly walked out on the stage and said the concert is over “but nobody will leave the club until the police come.”

The club administrators reportedly told RIA Novosti that a fight occurred between the club guards and unknown persons who did not want to buy tickets.

Pepper spray, also known as OC spray (from "Oleoresin Capsicum"), OC gas, and capsicum spray, is a lachrymatory agent (a chemical compound that irritates the eyes to cause tears, pain, and temporary blindness) used in policing, riot control, crowd control, and personal self-defense.  Its inflammatory effects cause the eyes to close, taking away vision.  This temporary blindness allows officers to more easily restrain subjects and permits persons using pepper spray for self-defense an opportunity to escape.
