The Supreme Presidium of the Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan reported the brutal murder of a former party member, 61-year-old resident of the village of Surkh in the city of Isfara, Sodikov Mannon, known as domullo Abdumannon.
According to the party’s press service, the deceased had been missing for about a week. The body of domullo Abdumannon was discovered on the morning of May 4, 2026.
It is reported that Sodikov Abdumannon was brutally killed by a criminal group.
According to information obtained by Azda.tv, on the night of April 27, around 03:00, Sodikov Abdumannon left his home. He was called by several individuals who introduced themselves as intermediaries regarding the release of prisoners and offered to talk. After that, the man went missing.
A week later, the body of Sodikov Abdumannon was found on the outskirts of the village of Surkh. He had 11 stab wounds on his body.
According to our source, the murder of Sodikov was the work of several local residents, including Boboev Ehson and Sukhrab Ziyoev, who posed as employees of the State Committee for National Security and intermediaries in the matter of releasing prisoners. They promised to release any prisoner from jail in exchange for $100,000. It is unknown which prisoners were being referred to.
So far, there has been no official version of the incident. The authorities have not commented on the murder of the former member of the IRPT. The editorial staff of Azda.tv has been unable to confirm or deny this information from other sources.
Sodikov Abdumannon previously headed the local branch of the IRPT in the village of Surkh in the city of Isfara. In 2014, he was detained and later sentenced to imprisonment. However, he was released from prison at the end of 2015.
The son of the deceased, Sodikov Abdusalom, was also detained by law enforcement agencies in October 2024 and sentenced to 7 years in prison on fabricated charges.
