The leader of the Pamir youth, Amriddin Alovatshoev, who was previously abducted in Moscow, was subjected to brutal torture at a police station in Dushanbe and was unconscious for more than two days. This was reported by the Deputy Chairman of the National Alliance of Tajikistan, Alim Sherzamonov, on his Facebook page.

“According to the information received, two days ago Amriddin Alovatshoev was subjected to brutal torture, after which he was in an unconscious state for more than two days. He still does not have access to a lawyer and is not receiving medical assistance,” wrote Alim Sherzamonov.

The authorities have not yet commented on this report.

Earlier, Pamir Daily News, citing its sources, reported that Alovatshoev met with his uncle a few days ago. However, his uncle did not inform the public or the media about Amriddin’s condition.

It was previously reported that one of the leaders of the Pamir youth in Moscow, Amriddin Alovatshoev, was detained in Russia on January 11 and extradited to Tajikistan. Until February 2, Tajik authorities denied the detention and extradition of Alovatshoev to Tajikistan.

On February 2, the Attorney General of Tajikistan, Yusuf Rahmon, stated at a press conference that Alovatshoev had been wanted since 2018, and he was detained and extradited at the request of the Tajik side. However, he did not specify under which article of the Criminal Code of Tajikistan a criminal case had been initiated against him.

On the same day, February 2, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan, Ramazon Rahimzoda, told journalists at a press conference that Alovatshoev “voluntarily returned to Tajikistan, where he was arrested.” According to him, a criminal case was initiated against him for organizing protests in Khorog.

The Attorney General of Tajikistan, Yusuf Rahmon, stated that Alovatshoev had been wanted and was detained and extradited at the request of Tajikistan, but the Minister of Internal Affairs, Rahimzoda, rejected his words, stating that he was not extradited, but returned to Tajikistan himself and was subsequently detained. It is unclear who is telling the truth and who is not.

Relatives and acquaintances of Alovatshoev claim that he has never been involved in criminal activities.

Among the Pamiri diaspora in Russia, Amriddin enjoys great authority. He is considered a person with an unblemished reputation, always ready to support his compatriots, the report stated.
