Journalist Anora Sarkorova reported that in Dushanbe, athlete Olimsho Muminov, a native of the Rushan district of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
The 34-year-old athlete was convicted under Article 187 (participation in a criminal community) of the Criminal Code of Tajikistan. The investigation and trial of Olimsho Muminov’s case were held in closed sessions, without the participation of a lawyer.
Olimsho Muminov was a candidate for master of sports in volleyball, champion of Dushanbe in 2009 and 2010, and a silver medalist at the Tajikistan championship in 2009 and 2010.
On May 18, 2022, the athlete participated in a peaceful civil protest in the village of Vamar – the administrative center of the Rushan district of GBAO.
After the events in Rushan, Muminov left for Nizhny Novgorod, where he worked for a construction company. On November 29, 2022, the young man was invited to the company’s office and disappeared. He no longer contacted his family, and after some time it became clear that he was being held in the pre-trial detention center of the State Committee for National Security of Tajikistan.
Olimsho Muminov is not the only citizen of Tajikistan who was abducted on the territory of Russia, handed over to Tajik authorities, and forcibly extradited to Tajikistan.
