According to Radio Ozodi, another nephew of the former leader of the banned Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan (IRPT) and the United Tajik Opposition (UTO) during the civil conflict, Said Abdullo Nuri, has been detained in the city of Bokhtar. Mukhibullo Nuriddinov, according to relatives, was detained on suspicion of “receiving financial assistance from abroad.”

The authorities have not yet officially confirmed the information.

A month ago, law enforcement agencies detained Nusratullo Saidov, another nephew of Said Abdullo Nuri. Relatives of the detained reported to Azda TV that on January 24 of this year at 16:00 local time, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Khatlon region summoned Nusratullo Saidov and at least 4-5 other people for questioning. According to the source, after the questioning, the police released Nusratullo Saidov’s associates, but detained him. Two months later, Saidov has still not been released.
