City and district authorities are compiling a list of conscripts

The authorities of the Shugnon district in the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region have begun compiling lists of youth of conscription age.

According to the agency “Khovar,” on July 20, the authorities of the Shugnon district held a working meeting to discuss the issue of the autumn conscription of youth for military service.

At the meeting, the heads of rural jamoats and military enlistment offices in the district were instructed to ensure the training of citizens of conscription age (born between 1996 and 2005) within the district.

Additionally, the heads of rural jamoats, urban-type settlements, leaders of organizations, enterprises, state institutions, and heads of higher, secondary, and primary vocational institutions were tasked with submitting lists of citizens of conscription age to the military enlistment offices in the district and notifying conscripts based on the summons.

It is reported that authorities in other cities and districts of the country are also preparing lists of youth of conscription age.

The authorities are already preparing lists of citizens of conscription age, even though there are still 2 months until the official start of the conscription season.

The conscription of recruits into the armed forces in Tajikistan has been actively discussed for many years. Annually, during their service in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Tajikistan, military personnel are subjected to brutal beatings, resulting in some fatalities. There are even cases of individuals going missing. Most young people evade military service due to poor conditions. Authorities forcibly send youth of conscription age to the army through “raids.” These methods always provoke public outrage, yet the situation remains unchanged.
