Fakhriddin Zokirov

Tajikistan

Fakhriddin Zokirov werd in maart 2014 en beschuldigd van valsheid in geschrifte. Op het moment van zijn arrestatie verleende hij juridische bijstand aan de voormalig minister Zaid Saidov. Saidov werd gearresteerd, nadat hij een nieuwe partij had opgericht in de aanloop naar de presidentsverkiezingen in december 2013. Zokirov werd na acht maanden detentie vrijgelaten op de voorwaarde dat hij Saidov niet meer zou verdedigen.

In augustus 2015 arresteerden de autoriteiten Zokirov opnieuw, dit keer op verdenking van ‘afpersing’. Hij werd vrijgelaten in november 2015, na het betalen van een boete 14.600 Somoni (ongeveer US $2.000).
