According to the official website of Group 24, a protest took place in front of the Migration Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Germany in Cologne against the unfair consideration of cases of political activists from Tajikistan.

“Participants held placards and chanted slogans calling on the German government and other EU countries to fairly and in accordance with international law consider the cases of opposition members and asylum seekers,” the statement said.

Earlier, Group 24 stated: “Recently, the authorities of Germany and some European countries denied asylum to several Tajik dissidents, opposition members, and independent activists, which may lead to their deportation to Tajikistan.”

A large number of opposition members currently reside in Europe as asylum seekers; however, EU member states have rejected the asylum applications of some Tajik opposition members for various reasons and have extradited at least three of them to Tajikistan over the past three years, where they were imprisoned for many years.
