On December 12, a janaza (funeral prayer) was held for Hussein Asadullozoda, the brother-in-law of the President of Tajikistan, in his native mahalla of Chapaev in the Jaloliddin Balkhi district of the Khatlon region.

Although Hussein Asadullozoda, unlike his twin brother Hasan Asadullozoda, was not a well-known figure, a large number of key members of the ruling family, government officials, and official authorities of Tajikistan attended the funeral.

Hussein Asadullozoda, the brother of Azizmo Asadulloeva, the wife of Emomali Rahmon, was also involved in business, like other brothers of the First Lady of Tajikistan. He owned the company “Naftarason,” which deals with the supply and sale of petroleum products in Tajikistan.

It is reported that Hussein Asadullozoda had recently been in a hospital in Tehran, the capital of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and suffered from heart failure. According to “Radio Ozodi,” the president’s brother-in-law passed away on the night of December 11. His body was delivered to Tajikistan the same day.
