The draft plan has been fulfilled by 40%

Some regions have already reported that they have fulfilled the plan by 100%.

In the first ten days of the spring conscription campaign for military service in Tajikistan, the conscription plan was fulfilled by 40%. As always, the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region fulfilled the plan by 100% on the very first day.

According to the press center of the Ministry of Defense of Tajikistan, in the regions under republican jurisdiction, the conscription plan was fulfilled by 57%, with the Lakhsh, Nurabad, Rasht, Tojikobod, and Sangvor districts, as well as the city of Vahdat reporting a 100% fulfillment of the conscription plan for recruits.

In the Khatlon region, the conscription plan for military service was fulfilled by 34%, while the Vakhsh district of this region fulfilled the plan by 100%.

According to the Ministry of Defense of the country, in the city of Dushanbe, the conscription plan was fulfilled by 30%, and in the Sughd region – by 26%.

The Ministry of Defense reports that fulfilling the plan by 40% in just ten days is “the result of good work by officials of the relevant state bodies.”

While the Ministry of Defense of Tajikistan reports a 40% fulfillment of the spring conscription plan for recruits, videos have recently been circulating showing young people being subjected to forced conscription into the army, commonly known as “oblava.” There have even been cases where military enlistment officers have pushed young men into cars and taken them to the enlistment office with fists and kicks.

The issue of forced conscription of youth into the army in Tajikistan, or “oblava,” has been a pressing problem for many years. Every year, a large number of videos are published about the progress of “oblavas” in cities and districts across the country, and human rights defenders believe that they are illegal and contradict all norms of the country’s legislation. However, despite all the evidence, the authorities claim that there is no oblava in the country.

Social media users and civil society are actively discussing these actions of the authorities, but no progress in resolving the issue is anticipated.
