It is reported that the authorities suspect Daler Emomali of “illegal entrepreneurship.” The journalist is also accused of “providing knowingly false information about a crime” and “participating in the activities of banned political parties, public and religious associations.”

However, he only partially accepted the first two charges and rejected his involvement in banned organizations.

The investigative authorities, as well as his lawyer, do not disclose details, as his case has been classified as confidential.

It was previously reported that the case of journalist Abdullo Ghurbati, who was detained along with Daler Emomali, has been transferred to court.

A criminal case has been initiated against Abdullo Ghurbati under three articles, including Article 330 Part 1 (insulting a representative of the authorities), Article 328 Part 1 (violence against a representative of the authorities), and Article 307/2 Part 2 (participation in an extremist community). Abdullo Ghurbati categorically denied all charges.

On August 17, the court in the Shomansur district confirmed to Radio Ozodi that the materials of the criminal case had been received, but noted that the date of the hearing is still unknown.

It was previously reported that Daleri Imomali was detained on June 15 in the Ayni district and brought to Dushanbe. On the same day, blogger Abdullo Ghurbati was summoned for questioning at the prosecutor’s office of the Shokhmansur district of Dushanbe, where he was also detained. Later, both journalists were arrested by court decision for two months.

Recently, law enforcement agencies have intensified pressure on bloggers and journalists. In less than two months, seven journalists and bloggers have been detained and taken into custody.

Journalistic and human rights organizations have appealed to the authorities of Tajikistan demanding the immediate release of Daleri Imomali, Abdullo Ghurbati, Zavkibek Saidamini, Abdusatdor Pirmuhammadzoda, and other journalists. However, the authorities continue to ignore the demands of international organizations.
