In Dushanbe, a landlord and a tenant were detained for organizing a drug den

The OMVD-2 for the Firdausi district of the capital has uncovered the organization of a drug den in the capital of Tajikistan.

According to the press center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Dushanbe, 38-year-old Amirova Dilrabo rented an apartment on N. Karaboev Street and was renting it out to drug addicts.

The report notes that during operational activities, drug users were detained, including citizens Niyozov Firdaus, Odinaev Saidali, as well as minors Karimova Khairinisso and Akhmadieva Sabrina.

During the search, small quantities of narcotic substances such as “methamphetamine” and “hashish,” as well as devices used for drug consumption, were discovered and seized as evidence.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs for the capital reported that measures will be taken against Amirova Dilrabo, as well as against the owner of the apartment. They are charged with organizing a drug den. The preliminary investigation is ongoing. The police did not disclose how the detainees or their lawyers reacted to the charges.

Experts and observers believe that the main reason for the increase in drug and alcohol use among the youth of Tajikistan is unemployment, low levels of education, and limited access for youth to proper religious education, including in mosques.
