The source said that "he did not arrive to Khujand airport".

"This would have become known to everyone, the source said. Besides he would have been detained by the special services and sent to Dushanbe".

As it became known to "AP" from unofficial sources in the law enforcement agencies of the capital itself, in Dushanbe Kiyomiddin Gozi also does not exist.

Today, the radio “Ozodi” reported that the "people's general" Said Kiyomiddin Gozi disappeared in St. Petersburg and is already in Tajikistan.

Native of Said Kiyomiddin Gozi, known in the 1990s as a Tajik clergyman, reported about his disappearance after returning from Istanbul to St. Petersburg.

"The last time Gozi phoned his son Barakatullo from the St. Petersburg airport about midnight on November 21 and reported that he was deported to Tajikistan", – said in a conversation with Radio “Ozodi” the priest's wife Rajabgul Musalmonova. According to her, it became known that Said Kiyomiddin was put on a flight St. Petersburg – Khujand. However, among the passengers who arrived in the administrative center of Sughd region, he was not there. At Khujand airport, the clergyman's native was informed that Said Kiyomiddin Gozi was ill in the plane and therefore the ambulance urgently took him to the hospital.

“Ozodi” reports with reference to the website of the Tajik opposition that Said Kiyomiddin Gozi was detained at the airport of the city of St. Petersburg by special services of Tajikistan and Russia. The same evening he was extradited to Khujand. Currently, he is allegedly held in one of the city's pre-trial detention centers.

According to the spouse, since 2015 the clergyman lived in the city on the Neva river. In this city he owns a cafe, where he worked together with his sons. Rajabgul Musalmonova claims that her husband was not wanted in Tajikistan or in Russia. The clergyman had not been involved in politics for a long time and was not a member of the Islamic party.

Kiyomiddin Goziev or Ashon Said Kiyomiddini Gozi was known in the 90's as a Tajik clergyman. He was one of the speakers at the Shakhidon Square (near the former building of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Tajikistan), where in 1992 the opponents of the communist regime met. In the same place, he was given the unofficial title of "General Mardumi" ("People's General"). With the outbreak of the civil war in Tajikistan, Said Kiyomiddin Gozi moved to Afghanistan, where he worked with the United Tajik Opposition. After signing the Agreement on Peace and National Accord in Tajikistan in 1997, he returned to the country and was a member of one of the subcommissions of the Commission for National Reconciliation. Said Kiyomiddin Gozi for his achievements in the implementation of the Agreement on Peace and National Accord was awarded with the Order "Sharaf".
