The President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon pardoned an Iranian citizen who was serving a sentence in a Tajik prison. He returned to his homeland on April 27.
This was reported by the Iranian ambassador to Tajikistan, Mohammad Taqi Sabiri, on his Twitter.
According to the ambassador, the President of Tajikistan pardoned the Iranian prisoner at his request and in honor of the holiday Eid al-Fitr (Uraza Bayram).
It is reported that the released Iranian citizen has already returned to his homeland.
The identity of the Iranian prisoner is unknown. The Iranian ambassador to Tajikistan, Mohammad Taqi Sabiri, emphasized that he was the only Iranian prisoner in Tajikistan.
However, earlier, law enforcement agencies in Tajikistan reported multiple times that Iranian citizens had been detained and imprisoned.
In honor of the holiday Eid al-Fitr, Emomali Rahmon pardoned only one prisoner, and that was an Iranian citizen. Leaders of neighboring countries announced amnesty in honor of Eid al-Fitr and pardoned hundreds of prisoners.
