The residents of Khorog, Jonibek Chorshanbiyev and Navruzov Muslim, who were detained in Moscow some time ago, have been deported to Tajikistan. They were participants in a video appeal calling on the Tajik authorities to conduct a fair investigation into the murder of Gulbidin Ziyobekov.

According to sources from “Pamir Daily News,” a criminal case has been initiated against them under Article 307 of the Criminal Code of Tajikistan for “calling for violent change of the constitutional order using the internet.”

It is still unknown when Jonibek Chorshanbiyev and Navruzov Muslim were detained and deported. Azda TV has not been able to determine the conditions in which the residents of Badakhshan are being held, or whether they have access to a lawyer.

Earlier, it was reported that Tajik law enforcement officials are threatening Badakhshan activists in Russia and offering them to return to their homeland voluntarily.

Tajik law enforcement officials have been sending messages to Badakhshan activists via WhatsApp, demanding that they return to Tajikistan. Otherwise, they were threatened with forced deportation to Tajikistan.
