A native of GBAO has been extradited and sentenced to 18 years

Parviz Goibnazarov, a native of the village of Ridzhist in the Roshtkala district, has been sentenced to 18 years in prison. It is still unknown under which articles of the criminal code the charges were brought.

Well-known journalist Anora Sarkorova reports on her Telegram channel that Parviz Goibnazarov was detained by Russian law enforcement officers in Moscow a month ago and handed over to the Tajik side.

Parviz Goibnazarov is considered one of the friends of activist and athlete Gulbidin Ziebekov, who was brutally killed by Tajik security forces on November 25, 2021.

It is reported that Parviz was detained near the house where he lived as he was heading to work.

No relatives were notified about Goibnazarov’s extradition to Dushanbe or the charges brought against him.

The investigation and trial were held behind closed doors, without the participation of a lawyer.

In Tajikistan, in recent months, dozens of natives of GBAO have been sentenced to long prison terms.

Virtually all of them were denied access to a lawyer. The investigation and trial were conducted behind closed doors.
