Komiljon Yuldoshev was detained on November 16 at Domodedovo Airport in Moscow. He was told that he was detained because he was “wanted by the authorities of Kyrgyzstan.”

“On November 18, 2021, as a result of fruitful cooperation between the diplomatic mission of Tajikistan and law enforcement agencies of Russia, citizen of the Republic of Tajikistan Yuldoshev Komiljon was released due to unjustified detention at Domodedovo International Airport,” the statement from the Embassy of Tajikistan in Russia says.

One of the detainee’s relatives reported that Komiljon flew to Moscow, but was detained at Domodedovo Airport. “He was told that he was wanted at the request of Kyrgyzstan. Komiljon is still being held at the airport. A prosecutor is supposed to come today to determine his preventive measure,” he said.

Komiljon Yuldoshev is a native of the Surkh village in Isfara, which is located on the border with Kyrgyzstan. According to his relatives, the authorities of Kyrgyzstan accused Komiljon of participating in a border conflict, but no evidence has been provided.

Komiljon Yuldoshev is not the only citizen of Tajikistan detained in Russia at the request of Kyrgyzstan. On November 16, 52-year-old Dilovar Juraev, also a native of Isfara, was released after being detained in Russia at the request of Kyrgyz law enforcement agencies. The General Prosecutor’s Office of Tajikistan reported that he was released after an official letter was sent to the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation requesting to dismiss the request of the Kyrgyz authorities and release the citizen of Tajikistan from custody. Juraev told Radio Ozodi that the Russian prosecutor’s office released him “under a travel ban.”

Earlier, Russia detained another resident of the Voruukh community in the Isfara district, Furkat Abdufattoev, at the request of Kyrgyzstan. He was held in custody for several months and was released in June of this year.

On November 12, the General Prosecutor’s Office of Tajikistan sent a request to the General Prosecutor’s Office of Kyrgyzstan asking to cease the practice of initiating unfounded criminal cases against Tajik citizens for organizing mass riots along the state border.
