I am writing a chapter about governance in Tajikistan for a reference book. I want to give civil society its due. What have been some of the success stories involving new or amended legislation, changing government behavior or improving governance in recent years?
Junaidullo Khudoyorov criticised the local authorities in Rasht on Facebook. He was sentenced to 5 years in prison today for being Salafi. His local imam reports being coerced into denouncing him https://t.co/5K93DxuStA
Today for first time in years, in response to serious international pressure, #Tajikistan has released a political prisoner! Hopefully, the first of many hundreds to come. Am so proud to say that #KhayrulloisFree! A picture of his family, with tears of joy, outside the courthouse
@Navbahor Much to say about trajectory between Tajikistan & Uzbekistan & what may come from visit. But watching video I am struck most by TOTAL absence of women in this room of key officials from both sides. Real shame. No way these 2 nations are moving forward w/out women leading the way.
Great news to report & proof of efficacy of good ol' fashioned #humanrights work-Today the #Tajik government relented & allowed @khudoidodova's daughter #Fatima, grandmother & brother to leave the country. Thanks so much to all who supported the effort! https://t.co/oitKXb36Qb
The cruelty Tajik authorities have shown against this 10-year-old girl and her relatives simply for her mother’s peaceful criticism of the government is shocking. - @HughAWilliamson https://t.co/j84zgdYXQA
10 year old Fatima removed from flight together with family members by Tajik security forces. Banned from traveling to Europe to be reunited with activist mother. Cruel and and inexcusable, says @Bjorn1960@AmnestyEECA@amnesty@hrw https://t.co/guHLsm6lXE
On Aug 4 #Tajik authorities ripped 10 yr old girl off an airplane, keeping her from her mom @khudoidodova, who lives in Europe, to punish her for peaceful activism. @hrw@nhc_no@GlobAdvocates@freedomnoworg@amnesty have started campaign to #FreeFatima! https://t.co/oitKXb36Qb
Terrible news today from #Tajikistan: Authorities pull 10 yr-old #FatimaDavlyatova off her airplane, preventing her from leaving #Tajikistan to reunite w/ her mother @khudoidodova, an activist, who lives in Europe. Fatima & family told they are "under supervision." #FreeFatima!
