One of the detained person’s relatives reported that Komiljon flew to Moscow on November 16, but was detained at Domodedovo airport. “He was told that he is wanted at the request of Kyrgyzstan. Komiljon is still being held at the airport. A prosecutor is supposed to come today to determine his preventive measure,” he said.

The authorities of Tajikistan and Russia have not yet commented on Yuldoshev’s detention. His relatives reported that they contacted the Tajikistan embassy for assistance.

Komiljon Yuldoshev is a native of the Isfara village of Surkh, which is located on the border with Kyrgyzstan. According to his relatives, the authorities of Kyrgyzstan accused Komiljon of participating in a border conflict, but no evidence has been provided.

Komiljon Yuldoshev is not the only citizen of Tajikistan detained in Russia at the request of Kyrgyzstan. On November 16, 52-year-old Dilovar Juraev, a native of Isfara, was released after being detained in Russia at the request of Kyrgyz law enforcement agencies. The General Prosecutor’s Office of Tajikistan reported that he was released after an official letter was sent to the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation requesting to dismiss the Kyrgyz authorities’ request and release the Tajik citizen from custody. Juraev told Radio Ozodi that the Russian prosecutor’s office released him “under a travel restriction.”

Earlier, Russia detained another resident of the Voruq community in the Isfara district, Furkat Abdufattov, at the request of Kyrgyzstan. He was held in custody for several months and was released in June of this year.

On November 12, the General Prosecutor’s Office of Tajikistan sent a request to the General Prosecutor’s Office of Kyrgyzstan asking to cease the practice of initiating unfounded criminal cases against Tajik citizens for organizing mass riots along the state border.
