An Afghan man was detained in Vakhdat on suspicion of murdering his father

Employees of the internal affairs bodies of the city of Vahdat detained a 25-year-old citizen of Afghanistan on suspicion of murdering his own father. This was reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, on June 1 around noon, a conflict occurred between the suspect Parviz Davlatzoda and his 52-year-old father. During the quarrel, the man inflicted two stab wounds on his father. The victim died from his injuries.

According to the investigation, the incident took place near a fruit sales point on Somoniyon Street in the city of Vahdat. It is reported that the suspect has been detained, and a criminal case has been initiated against him. The reasons for the conflict are still unknown. No information has been provided about the motives for the murder. The investigation is ongoing.

This murder is reported against the backdrop of recent events, as Tajikistan is paying great attention to Afghan refugees. It was previously reported that a citizen of Tajikistan was detained on charges of murdering a 27-year-old Tajik woman in Khujand. According to media reports, following these incidents, the authorities of Tajikistan tightened the rules for the stay of Afghan migrants and began their mass deportation.

Earlier, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees reported that from the beginning of this year until mid-May, Tajikistan deported 882 Afghan refugees back to their homeland. According to the agency, of these, 540 individuals were officially registered as asylum seekers or refugees.

The authorities of Tajikistan claim that only those Afghan citizens who violated migration legislation or committed criminal offenses have been deported.

However, the deported Afghans themselves told local media that many had no legal problems, some had all their documents in order, yet the law enforcement agencies of Tajikistan deported them nonetheless.
