In its statement, NAT expressed concern over the dire situation of political prisoners and called on the government to cease the practice of rights violations and to create conditions for Mahmadali Hait to meet with his close relatives, as well as to explain to the public and the relatives of prisoners the reasons for the denial of visits and to hold those responsible accountable.
NAT’s Statement Regarding the Uncertain Situation of Mahmadali Hait
The National Alliance of Tajikistan is closely monitoring the dire situation of political prisoners in the country. Reports that Deputy Chairman of the IRPT Mahmadali Hait has been denied a visit with his close relatives have raised serious concerns among the NAT Council and alliance members.
Following the unjust punishment of Rahmatullo Rajab and Zubaidullo Rozik for their public appeal to the president and the placement of Abdukahhor Davlat in a punishment cell (SHIZO), this is already the third case of violations of the basic rights of a political prisoner.
The NAT Council is deeply concerned and strongly condemns the fact that the authorities denied Mahmadali Hait a visit with his close relatives, which is permitted only once every six months, as there are no other means to contact him besides these visits.
On the other hand, these actions by the authorities increase doubts about the health status of political prisoners and heighten public concern. NAT is worried that the reason for denying Mahmadali Hait a visit with his close relatives may be his poor health condition or some illegal punishment, such as placement in a punishment cell, as with other political prisoners.
Therefore, NAT calls on the government to fulfill the following demands as soon as possible:
– Cease the practice of violating the rights of prisoners and create conditions for Mahmadali Hait to meet with his close relatives;
– Explain to the public and the relatives of prisoners the reason for his punishment and the ban on visits with relatives as soon as possible;
– Hold accountable those involved in this illegal activity as soon as possible.
