Pamir Daily News, citing its sources, reports that a month after the abduction of Pamiri activists Oraz and Ramzi Vazirbekov from Russia and their appearance in Dushanbe, their relatives still cannot meet with them.

It is reported that, according to informed sources, the Vazirbekovs are being denied visits because they have been subjected to torture and their health condition does not allow them to be shown to relatives.

Oraz and Ramzi Vazirbekov are citizens of Russia. Their relatives in Russia have appealed to the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation, the FSB, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. However, they have not yet received a clear response.

It was previously reported that activists Oraz and Ramzi Vazirbekov, natives of Badakhshan, went missing on July 29, 2022, at Domodedovo Airport. Later, in a video address, they stated that they voluntarily returned to Tajikistan to answer questions from law enforcement agencies.
