According to the press service of the General Prosecutor’s Office of Tajikistan, on July 26, a delegation from the General Prosecutor’s Office of Russia, led by Igor Krasnov and Yusuf Rahmon, signed cooperation documents.

It is reported that during the meeting, “the parties discussed various aspects of cooperation in preventing transnational organized crime, ensuring national, regional, and global security, cybercrime, neutralizing existing internal threats related to the imposition of the ideology of religious radicalism on society.”

The press service of the General Prosecutor’s Office of Tajikistan reports that the parties discussed issues of cooperation between the prosecutors of the countries “in the direction of joint investigation of criminal cases, taking operational-search measures, issues of extradition” and other important matters in the field. The meeting concluded with a signing ceremony of the draft Cooperation Program between the prosecutors’ offices.

It was previously reported that the General Prosecutor of Russia, Igor Krasnov, who was on a working visit to Tajikistan, stated during a meeting with Emomali Rahmon that the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation had applied to the court to recognize the Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan as a “terrorist” organization.

According to experts, even before the signing of the cooperation documents, Russian and Tajik authorities closely collaborated on issues of detention and extradition of Tajik citizens. Experts believe that henceforth, Tajik citizens, social media activists, will be detained and extradited on the territory of Russia under the pretext of membership in the IRPT or other banned groups.
