DUSHANBE, April 27, 2014, Asia-Plus – Hardship has reportedly forced residents of the settlement of Buni Hisorak to apply to the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
The settlement was demolished in early 2010 in preparation for construction of new amusement park, Boghi Poytakht, and residents of the settlement were provided with apartments in new residential buildings.
Meanwhile, fourteen families did not receive apartments or lands for housing because Dushanbe authorities say they built their residential buildings in the settlement illegally.
One of those persons, who did not receive apartments, Mr. Ikrom Teshayev says that the court in Dushanbe’s Ismoili Somoni district, the Dushanbe district court and the appeals court of the Dushanbe city court have upheld municipal authorites’ decision to demolish their houses.
According to Teshaeyv, he and his family now live in a dormitory of the Tajik Agricultural University. “We have decided to shoot the works,” said Teshayev. “We have written a collective letter to the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.”
