Shokhrukh was awarded the title of Major General of Police

Emomali Rahmon awarded dozens of employees of the country’s law enforcement agencies with new ranks, orders, and other awards.

According to the press service of the president, on February 21, in honor of the 30th anniversary of the formation of the armed forces of Tajikistan, President Emomali Rahmon awarded a group of military personnel and law enforcement officers with state awards and conferred upon them new military ranks.

Among those who received new ranks was Shohrukh Saidzoda, the son of Abdulfattoh Goibov, the youngest representative of law enforcement agencies, who was awarded the rank of Major General of Police.

Shohrukh Saidzoda is a close friend of Rustam Emomali, the son of the President of Tajikistan. His father, former head of the Customs Service Abdulfattoh Goibov, was also one of Emomali Rahmon’s close associates and was considered one of his most loyal supporters.

Shohrukh Saidzoda joined the police in 2012 and quickly “rose” through the ranks. Since 2017, he has held the position of head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan.

During his tenure in the Criminal Investigation Department, hundreds of activists and critics of Emomali Rahmon’s government living abroad were detained in Russia and other countries on various charges and deported to Tajikistan.
