DUSHANBE, February 28, 2014, Asia-Plus – Two women reportedly attempted to disrupt a meeting of activists of the Islamic Revival Party (IRP) in the Kulob region that took place in IRP’s office in Kulob on February 27.
“Two women accompanied by one man raised noise outside IRP’s office in Kulob yesterday in order to disrupt the meeting,” Hikmatullo Sayfullozoda, editor-in-chief of IRP’s newspaper
Najot
(Salvation), told Asia-Plus in an interview today morning.
According to him, the man who accompanied the women was identified as former police officer and former member of the Popular Front of Tajikistan (the main pro-government army in the civil
war in Tajikistan) Ibrohim Ismoilov.
We will recall that a similar incident was held in Dushanbe in early December, when some two dozen female protesters noisily disrupted a press conference of the Social-Democratic Party (SDP) to criticize its leader Rahmatillo Zoyirov and heap praise on President Emomali Rahmon.
SDP representatives that time accused the authorities of using “rent-a-crowd” women to put pressure on government opponents
