The Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Khujand reported on its Facebook page about the operation “Morality,” during which several young women were detained.
According to the police, on September 14 of this year, a resident of Khujand, 23-year-old Bahodurzoda Khadidja, was detained.
It is reported that the aforementioned individual posted “semi-nude photographs showing the contours of her body, as well as wrote notes of a sexual nature” on Instagram.
“Also, citizen Shukurova Shahina, born December 25, 2004, a resident of the Jabbar Rasulov district, and citizen Ashurboyzoda Dilrabo, born January 21, 1992, a resident of the city of Buston, were brought to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Sughd region, where they received a stern warning for posting their semi-nude and shameless photographs on Instagram,” the statement noted.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs in Khujand described the goals of this operation as “the improvement of society.”
The Ministry emphasized that if these women’s behavior is repeated, they will face stricter legal penalties.
The initiative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Sughd region was supported by Tajik users in their comments under this post. At the same time, users complained about the immoral behavior of some well-known Tajik women and called on the police to also detain and punish them, as they claimed these women encourage “debauchery and immorality” in society.
In particular, users wrote that many singers, such as Farzonai Khurshed, Mino, Mehrinigori Rustam, and others, dress in semi-nude outfits that contradict national traditions, and such a style of clothing is legally prohibited. They urged law enforcement to detain and fine them to ensure they respect and uphold national culture and do not spread foreign culture.
