Famous spiritual leader of Khorog Muzaffar Davlatmirov has been sentenced to a long prison term.
Photo: InternetAccording to Pamir Daily News, citing its sources, the khalifa (deputy) of the “Tirchid” microdistrict (UPD) Muzaffar Davlatmirov has been sentenced to five years in prison.
It is reported that only a week passed from the time of his detention to the announcement of the sentence.
It is still unknown when and where the trial of Muzaffar Davlatmirov took place.
It was previously reported that the khalifa of the “Tirchid” microdistrict Muzaffar Davlatmirov was invited to the GKNB office in GBAO for a “conversation” on July 26. After that, there has been no news from him.
There has been no official comment from the authorities yet. It is unclear what he was accused of and how the trial was completed in just one week.
Journalist and civil society activist Rustami Joni reacted to the detention of Muzaffar Davlatmirov, stating that “he was not and did not become a ‘government’ deputy.”
“Before the killing of the Pamiris, he advised the authorities to refrain from using violence and to stop the military. He asked the authorities not to label Pamiris as criminals and robbers without evidence,” the journalist wrote.
Muzaffar Davlatmirov is not the first native of Badakhshan to be detained after recent events in the region. Dozens of other residents of GBAO have been arrested, some of whom have been sentenced to long prison terms, while others are awaiting trial.
