According to the Pamir Daily News portal, “the information about the detention of Amriddin Alovatshoev has been confirmed. The seven individuals who accompanied him were released yesterday.”

“Sources report that Amriddin and his companions (eight people) were detained in the city of Belgorod on January 11 by FSB officers. After some time, Alovatshoev was separated from the other detainees, and his current whereabouts are unknown,” the report states.

Earlier, Pamir Daily News reported on its Telegram channel that one of the most influential leaders of the Pamiri youth, Amriddin Alovatshoev, was kidnapped on January 12 in Moscow.

Tajik special services began to pursue Alovatshoev immediately after more than a thousand residents of GBAO protested at the Tajik Embassy in Moscow on November 25, 2021, against the unlawful actions of security forces in GBAO and the murder of Gulbidin Ziyobekov during a special operation.

Several hours after the rally, Russian media began publishing materials stating that Alovatshoev was wanted on suspicion of rape. Amriddin categorically denied these accusations.

Among the Pamiri diaspora in Russia, Amriddin enjoys immense authority. He is considered a person of impeccable reputation, always ready to support his compatriots, the report stated.
