Yesterday, after unknown individuals broke into Ulfatkhanim Mamadshoeva’s home and took her away, the electricity in her house was turned off, the door was locked from the outside, and her son-in-law was taken away in an unknown direction.

On May 18, journalist Ramziya Mirzobekova, a relative of Ulfatkhanim Mamadshoeva, reported on her Facebook page that “someone knocked on their door. The daughter did not recognize the visitor through the peephole and did not open the door. Then the lights went out. When the son-in-law decided to go out to check the meter, he was grabbed and taken away.”

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan, the State National Security Committee, and other agencies have not yet commented on the report. Azda TV has also been unable to confirm or deny this report from other independent sources.

Ulfatkhanim Mamadshoeva is a native of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region, a human rights activist, and an independent journalist. Earlier, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan reported that protests in Khorog were organized “on the instructions of Mamadshoeva Ulfatkhanim Masumovna” and for this reason “a criminal case has been initiated by the prosecutor’s office of GBAO against the organizers of the incident.”
