An anonymous source told AZDA TV that on September 30, officials from the Main Department for the Execution of Sentences granted amnesty to Mahmurod Odinaev and reduced his prison term by three years.
The opinion of Mahmurod Odinaev’s relatives is currently unknown, and it is also unclear whether his son Shaikhmuslikhiddin Rizoiev will be granted amnesty, as he was transferred from the pre-trial detention center to Vahdat prison on May 1 along with his father.
Former Deputy Chairman of the SDPT Mahmurod Odinaev was detained in December last year and sentenced to 14 years in prison on charges of hooliganism and public calls for violent change of the constitutional order.
Earlier, authorities also detained his son Shaikhmuslikhiddin Rizoiev. Authorities sentenced Shaikhmuslikhiddin to six years in prison on charges of “hooliganism” and “attempted rape.”
Relatives of Mahmurod Odinaev believe that he and his son are innocent and that their detention was politically motivated due to Odinaev’s political activities.
