Three intense days in #Vilnius: participation in the #FreeRussiaForum, meetings at the #LithuanianForeignMinistry and Parliament, engagement with the Tajik diaspora, and several media interviews.
#Lithuania may be small in size — but it is courageous in principle.
С Валерием Савчуком поговорили о возможной войне между #США и #Иране, об исчезновении #Рахмона, о таджиках в #Украине. Всегда приятно, когда вопросы не дежурные, а со смыслом.

Such statements by the National Alliance of Tajikistan—an alliance of opposition groups—risk provoking pressure that Tajikistan is not yet institutionally prepared to withstand, and is unlikely ever to be.
Сегодня поговорили с Русланом Айсином об #Иране, о Совете Мира #Трампа, об угрозах в адрес #ЦА со стороны пропагандистов #РФ и о том, куда исчез Э. #Рахмон? Он пропал из экранов уже более 10 дней. Это не характерно для диктатора-нарцисса.

Tajikistan, the only Central Asian country that publicly opposed the return of the Taliban to power in Afghanistan, is now attempting to mend fences with the hard-line Islamist group. https://t.co/UxlIOYmHrT
Met today in Oslo with Berit Lindeman (Sec.Gen.), Ivar Dale (Sr. Adviser)& their colleagues at the Norwegian Helsinki Committee. Discussed situation in #Tajikistan, political prisoners & the case against #Rahmon in #ICC-prepared with NHC support. The case moves forward.
🇹🇯The Tajik government is waging an increasingly brutal crackdown on dissent, with its harshest measures targeting civil society activists, independent journalists and members of the Pamiri ethnic minority - @l_seiitbek of @Freedom4Eurasia
