This morning, a delegation of the political movement “Group 24” has arrived with an official visit in Brussels, the capital of Belgium. The representatives of Group 24 plan to hold several meetings with senior officials of the state, as well as with the representatives of the European Parliament and international organizations.
The delegation is represented by the Deputy to the head of “Group 24” Khuseyn Ashurov, foreign affairs relation officer of the movement Nuriddin Rizoyi and press secretariat of the “Group 24” Saidali Ashurov. During the meetings and negotiations, the delegation will discuss with the representatives of the European Union the most important problems in the region and the situation in Tajikistan, including the violation of human rights, situation with the political parties and political movements, political prisoners and their torture by the regime in the Prisons, pressures, freedom of speech and thought, free press, the absence of competitive elections in Tajikistan and political dissent. Moreover, it is also planned to discuss the financial assistance of the European Union to the government of Tajikistan and the possibility of sanctions against the authorities of Tajikistan.
It should be noted, that one of the main goals of this visit is to raise the issue of the detention of Suhrob Zafar and Nasimjon Sharipov at the international level, as well as the opening of the case on the assassination of Umarali Kuvvatov and bringing to justice its organizers and customers. We remain, that the head of the “Group 24” Suhrob Zafar and a representative of the movement in Turkey Nasimjon Sharipov were detained by the Turkish authorities on March 19th, this year at the request of the government of Tajikistan and their case is still under consideration. The government of Tajikistan is making every effort to extradite these political activists from Turkey to Tajikistan.
More detailed information on the results of this visit will be published later.
