Sources informed Azda TV that there is currently no detailed information about the deportation. It is known that on the morning of January 18, Abdullo called his wife and told her that he was being deported. According to him, he had already been taken to the airport and would be put on a flight from Düsseldorf to Istanbul, and then sent to Dushanbe from Turkey.

His father, Shamsiddin Said, confirmed to Azda TV the fact of his son’s deportation. He also stated that they have already found a lawyer in Istanbul and are trying to prevent his son’s deportation to their homeland.

“In Istanbul, the lawyer has already started working, but there is a problem. He has only 2 hours, moreover, he is in the transit zone of the airport, he is not in an accessible place to be contacted, but efforts are ongoing. Also, a court should be organized in Germany within a few hours, and with the latest evidence presented by the lawyer, there is a possibility that they will also make some decision,” – said Shamsiddin Said.

Shamsiddin Said added that efforts to save his son from deportation to Tajikistan are being made both in Germany and in Turkey.

Earlier, Abdullo’s relatives reported that the German authorities did not take into account all the evidence presented by the lawyers during his detention. A decision to deport him to Tajikistan had already been made.

His family and friends say that although Abdullo Shamsiddin was not engaged in political activities, he faces torture and imprisonment in Tajikistan.

After his detention on December 17, 2022, a group of German citizens, his colleagues and acquaintances called on the German authorities not to deport the Tajik asylum seeker Abdullo Shamsiddin to Tajikistan, as he faces threats of torture and imprisonment there.
