Poland deported a citizen of Tajikistan

According to Polish media, the Border Guard and the Internal Security Agency of Poland detained a citizen of Tajikistan in Poland during a joint operation.

On the morning of December 13, the Polish National Security Agency reported that the citizen of Tajikistan was detained in Poland and deported to Tajikistan. Polish special services believe that the citizen of Tajikistan posed a “threat to the national security of the country.” According to the agency, he was deported on December 10. Details of the deportation are unknown.

According to the Polish Radio agency, citing the Internal Security Agency of Poland, this citizen of Tajikistan had previously been involved in extremist and terrorist activities. He was wanted by Interpol at the request of the Tajik authorities. Poland has also included him on the list of “undesirable persons.”

“Polish authorities deported the citizen of Tajikistan and banned him from entering Poland and the Schengen area for 10 years,” reports Polish Radio.

The Polish authorities do not provide details about this case. The personal data of the citizen of Tajikistan is unknown. It is also unclear whether he was an asylum seeker in Poland or had arrived on a work visa.

This is not the first case in which Poland has deported a citizen of Tajikistan due to involvement in “extremism” or “membership in terrorist organizations.” Previously, Poland had already deported several citizens of Tajikistan on the grounds of “threat to security.”

It was previously reported that German authorities deported Tajik activist and member of “Group 24” Bilol Kurbonaliyev to Tajikistan. The reason for Kurbonaliyev’s deportation is cited as non-compliance with residence rules in that country.

Before that, German authorities deported Abdullohi Shamsiddin, the son of Shamsiddin Said, one of the leaders of the Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan. Law enforcement agencies in Tajikistan detained Abdullo upon his arrival at the international airport in Dushanbe. Later, Abdullohi Shamsiddin was sentenced to 7 years in prison.
