According to the source, in recent weeks, law enforcement agencies of Tajikistan have been actively recruiting individuals who previously condemned Dushanbe’s policy towards GBAO in their video addresses. From November to March, dozens of such individual and group appeals were published on social media.

It is reported that in exchange for freedom from criminal prosecution, these activists are being offered to testify against Oraz Vazirbekov. Allegedly, he personally prepared the texts and forced people to record videos and publish them on social media. Those who refused to do so were threatened with problems in Russia.

In this way, according to the source, Tajik law enforcement agencies are preparing another criminal case against activist Oraz Vazirbekov.

Earlier, one of the influential informal leaders of the Pamiris in Moscow, Oraz Vazirbekov, stated in his video address that his life is in danger and called on the Russian authorities to protect him and his family.
