Owner of the “Ibni Sino” clinic is being beaten in pre-trial detention center

According to Dododjon Atovulloev, the leader of the “Vatandor” movement, “Kholikzoda was beaten in the pre-trial detention center, which is why he is not being shown to anyone.” Recently, Atovulloev has been monitoring the situation of Abduhalil Kholikzoda, the owner of the capital’s clinic “Ibni Sino,” and regularly writes about him on social media.

The owner of the “Ibni Sino” clinic was detained in Dushanbe on the orders of the Prosecutor General Yusuf Rahmon and is currently being held in the pre-trial detention center of the Firdausi district of the capital.

Yusuf Rahmon accused Abduhalil Kholikzoda of insulting representatives from various regions and inciting hatred and enmity among people, stating: “I personally instructed that this person be arrested and he will answer for his actions before the law.”

Official authorities have not yet reported anything about the torture of the owner of the “Ibni Sino” clinic. However, his relatives, speaking on condition of anonymity, report that he is not only being beaten but also subjected to psychological pressure. Therefore, they are concerned for his health.

57-year-old Abduhalil Kholikzoda was one of the close friends of the Minister of Internal Affairs Ramazon Rahimzoda and the head of the State Committee for National Security of Tajikistan Saymumin Yatimov. In his second book “Havodisi ruzgori man,” published on March 15 of this year, he recounted the story of a girl named Nozanin who was subjected to rape. He narrated this story as told by Ramazon Rahimzoda in the presence of Saymumin Yatimov. The main characters in the story were the beautiful girl Nozanin from the Khovaling district and a qizilbashi from Afghanistan. The story provoked anger and discontent among many representatives of the intelligentsia of the Kulyab region.

Tajik businessman and writer Abduhalil Kholikzoda was born on December 20, 1966, in the village of Pandzhrud in the Panjakent district of the Sughd region. He was the founder and chairman of the board of directors of the “Ibni Sino” clinic. He is the author of the books “Modjaroi rafta” and “Havodisi ruzgori man.”
