The National Bank of Tajikistan has updated the list of persons wanted for committing terrorist acts, or accused of links with terrorists, increasing the list to 1178 people. Six months ago, only 200 people were on this list.
The National Bank of Tajikistan published the so-called "lists of terrorists and extremists". After the publication of the lists, the relevant authorities should take measures to freeze financial assets or other property of these persons.
The lists include terrorist and extremist organizations that are prohibited by the Supreme Court on the territory of the Republic of Tajikistan, including the “Muslim Brotherhood”, “Jamaat-i-Islami”, the “Taliban Movement”, the “Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan”, “Lashkar-i –Taiba”, “Tablighi Jamaat”, “Islamic State”, “Jabhat an Nusra”, “Group 24” and others.
The list, whose assets are to be frozen, includes: the leader of the IRP banned party, Mukhiddin Kabiri, and other members, the rushed ex-Riot police commander-Gulmurod Halimov, the leader of “Ansarullah” Amriddin Tabarov, who, according to Tajik law enforcers, was allegedly killed in the end of 2015.
As noted in the National Bank, data on individuals who are recognized as terrorists or are being investigated against them, are published in the framework of a governmental decree on the procedure for the freezing and thawing of financial assets or other property of individuals and organizations included in the list of persons associated with terrorism The need for this resolution was caused by the Laws of the Republic of Tajikistan "On Combating Terrorism" and "On Counteracting the Legalization (Laundering) of Proceeds from Crime and the Financing of Terrorism".
Also, these lists were published as part of the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force on Combating Money-Laundering (FATF).
The list of individuals and legal entities that participate in terrorism, or who commit or attempt to commit terrorist acts, is prepared by the State Committee for National Security of Tajikistan.
In order to counter the financing of terrorism, this information will be regularly updated. From the list will be removed persons who are officially recognized as dead.
On the website of the National Bank it is stated that the accountable organization (probably banks, – Ed.) Is obligated to freeze funds and other financial resources without delay and without time limit and ensure that any resources are not provided to persons on this list. An exception may be cases sanctioned by the State Committee for National Security on an individual basis, on the basis of humanitarian needs.
