On 1 August, the Ismoili Somoni district court in Dushanbe continued the litigation on the case of Jaloliddin Sadriddinov, police officer and former press secretary of the Tajik Interior Ministry.

Jamoliddin Sadriddinov was dismissed from the police in May 2008. The ground for his dismissal was a verdict of the Interior Ministry’s staff security department saying that “the police officer committed actions defaming his professional status”. Sadriddinov denies this accusation and says that his dismissal resulted from machinations and intrigues plotted by his former colleagues.

The court hearings will continue.
