Government of the Republic of Ukraine
Kyiv, Ukraine
Dear Mr President Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych:
The National Movement of Tajikistan expresses concern about the arrest of Abdumalik Abdullojonov in Kyiv on February 5, 2013 with possible extradition to the Republic of Tajikistan and asks for your impartial oversight of this case.
Mr Abdullojonov was the former prime minister of the Republic of Tajikistan and after participating in presidential elections of 1994 left Tajikistan under pressures and threats. The Government of Tajikistan accuses him for organized crimes pursuing his arrest, but Mr Abdullojonov has been accepted to the United States and lived there for past years within regulations of the political asylum case.
We believe Mr Abdullojonov is being pursued for his political activities and in general, current government of the country is launching targeted attacks against all opposition parties and movements on the eve of upcoming presidential elections in November of this year. Therefore, we strongly urge you to withhold from extraditing him to the hands of Tajik officials as it will result in unfair trial, imminent tortures and death of this citizen.
