A group of citizens from Tajikistan living in Germany has announced a protest action in the German city of Dortmund.
Photo: InternetOn February 14, 2023, a group of German and Tajik political activists in Europe announced a general protest action and called on all citizens of Tajikistan living in European countries to join this action.
The text of the announcement reads:
“A group of friends and colleagues of Abdulkhoji Shamsiddin intends to hold a picket in front of the Central Immigration Office in Dortmund, Germany on Thursday, February 16, from 15:00 to 17:00.”
“We invite all our friends and Tajiks living in Europe to participate in this action,” the organizers of the action write.
After Tajik political activist Abdulkhoji Shamsiddin was detained and later deported from Germany to Tajikistan, friends, colleagues, and political activists held at least four protests in Germany calling for his release.

Earlier, on January 18, German authorities deported Abdulkhoji Shamsiddin, the son of one of the leaders of the Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan, Shamsiddin Said, to Tajikistan. After several weeks, the authorities of Tajikistan have still not provided any information about the fate of Abdulkhoji Shamsiddin, nor have they disclosed where he is and under what conditions he is being held.
Location and time of the protest action:
Address: Olpe 1, 44135, Dortmund, Germany
