Brother of the founder of PIVT detained

The law enforcement agencies of the Khatlon region have detained the third relative of the founder of the PIVT and the chairman of the National Reconciliation Commission, Said Abdullo Nuri.

Nurollo Saidov, the brother of the late Said Abdullo Nuri, was detained on Monday, March 14, by law enforcement agencies in the Khatlon region. The authorities have not yet commented on Saidov’s detention. His relatives reported that Saidov is accused of receiving funds from abroad.

It was previously reported that police officers in the Khatlon region detained two nephews of Said Abdullo Nuri – Nusratullo Saidov and Mukhibullo Nuriddinov.

Relatives of Nurollo Saidov stated that all three are detained on suspicion of “receiving financial assistance from abroad.” The relatives of the detainees claim that receiving financial assistance from their relatives abroad is not a crime, as all residents of the country have relatives who are working abroad and send money to their families every month.

Since the authorities do not disclose the true motives behind the detention of Said Abdullo Nuri’s relatives, rumors are spreading in society that “the authorities have begun to take revenge on the relatives of the founder of the PIVT.”
