Additional information:

Daler Imomali, one of the imprisoned Tajik journalists, revealed some details of his case in a letter from the Dushanbe pre-trial detention center addressed to Tajik President Emomali Rakhmon, a copy of which was also obtained by Asia Plus. Imomali writes that he does not recognise the verdict of the Shokhmansur district court from October 17, 2022, which sentenced him to 10 years in prison, because the investigation and the court were «full of lies, slander, and duplicity». At the end of the letter, he warns that if any video of him, Abdullo Gurbati, Zavkibek Saidamini, or Abdusattor Pirmuhammadzoda is published, they should not be believed as «the video was recorded illegally, under psychological pressure, it is slander».
