On May 15, 2022, the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan in the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO) reported that the situation has been tense in the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region since the murder of Gulbiddin Ziyobekov, a resident of the Roshtkala district of the region, on November 25, 2021, after which several thousand people gathered in the central square of Khorog.

The authorities have sent thousands of military personnel to the region, constantly detaining and imprisoning influential residents for many years, thereby trying to create an atmosphere of fear and terror in the region, using violence and repression to deprive residents of the desire to seek justice. However, the residents of the region continue to hold protests, demanding accountability for law enforcement officials involved in the killings of peaceful residents of the region.
