At least 11 citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic detained on the Kyrgyz-Tajik border are kept in prisons of the Republic of Tajikistan in inhuman conditions. Deputy Sultanbai Aizhigitov announced at a parliamentary meeting.
He asked Ombudsman Atyr Abdrakhmatova to resolve the issue.
«Protect their rights. Take this matter under your personal control. You have a colleague in Tajikistan, maybe you have to meet with him or go to the place yourself and find it out. According to some information, they are kept in inhuman conditions,» the deputy said.
Ombudsman replied that work was underway to free the Kyrgyzstanis. Earlier, a letter was sent to the Ombudsman of Tajikistan with a request to clarify the condition of the detainees.
«Unfortunately, to date, the Tajik side has not taken appropriate measures. I sent a letter to the Ambassador of the European Union with a request to be an intermediary in resolving the issue of the return of our citizens. We are in touch with relatives. We will try to organize a trilateral meeting,» Atyr Abdrakhmatova said.
