He is accused of assaulting a police officer.
Photo: InternetAs reported by Pamir Daily News citing its sources, a resident of the Barkhorog neighborhood in the city of Khorog named Manuchehr was detained on the morning of March 31 by officers of the Internal Affairs Department for GBAO near a medical center.
It is reported that Manuchehr is accused of fighting with police officers in November 2021 at a checkpoint in the UPD neighborhood.
Currently, the situation in the city is beginning to escalate. Roads on both sides leading to the Barkhorog neighborhood are blocked by local residents. The city’s internal affairs department is preparing OMON for a possible suppression of protesters.
On November 25, Gulbidin Ziyobekov was killed by law enforcement officers in the village of Tavdem in the Roshtkala district, with traces of 7 bullets found on his body. The brutal murder of Gulbidin Ziyobekov sparked a wave of protests in Khorog, and later in Dushanbe, Moscow, London, New York, and many other major cities around the world. Authorities stated that Ziyobekov was wanted and was “injured during armed resistance.” Relatives and witnesses denied that he was armed.
The murder of Gulbidin Ziyobekov and his mother’s demands prompted hundreds of other protesters to join her and stage a protest; however, in response, law enforcement began firing at the crowd, resulting in two deaths and 17 injuries.
Since then, several activists and leaders of the Pamir youth have been detained, including athlete Chorshanbe Chorshanbiyev, informal youth leader Amriddin Alovatshoiev, witness to Ziyobekov’s murder Dilovar Khurramov, and activist and member of the “Commission 44” Iftikhor Saidbekov.
