It is reported that the protesters gathered in front of the Tajikistan embassy in Berlin demanding the release of Nusratullo Saidov, a relative of the late Said Abdullo Nuri, the founder of the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan (IRPT) and one of the supporters of the inter-Tajik peace process. Recently, Nusratullo Saidov was detained in the Khatlon region and later transferred to a pre-trial detention center in Dushanbe.

An Azda TV correspondent present at the protest reported that about 70-80 people gathered in front of the Tajikistan embassy in Berlin demanding the release of Nusratullo Saidov and other political prisoners.

Chairman of the Civil Committee for the Protection of Political Prisoners and Detainees in Tajikistan Abdusatyor Boboev, who also participated in the protest, stated in his speech that Nusratullo Saidov is the third member of this family to be detained without cause. He also addressed the authorities of Tajikistan, stating that if Saidov is not released, they will be forced to hold similar protests in all European countries and appeal to all international human rights organizations demanding his release.

Chairman of the “Nur” organization in Germany Shekhov Abdukodir told Azda TV:

“I am convinced that this protest will help, and people who have been oppressed and unable to speak out will learn courage, bravery, and experience from this action.”

“To put an end to injustice and oppression, we will soon hold such protests in Tajikistan,” he emphasized.
