OSCE Office in Tajikistan calls for Sayfullozoda’s assailants to be brought to justice

DUSHANBE, February 14, 2011, Asia-Plus  — The Head of the OSCE Office in Tajikistan, Ambassador Ivar Vikki, on February 11 condemned the violent attack on Hikmatullo Sayfullozoda, member of the Political Council of the Islamic Revival of Tajikistan and editor-in-chief of its newspaper, and called for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.

“The attack on Mr. Sayfullozoda is deeply troubling,” said Ambassador Vikki. “Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of a democratic society. Violence or threats against those who voice their opinion constitute an attack on values that are held with great respect in Tajikistan, with its history of intellectual debate and dialogue. OSCE commitments agreed by all participating States confirm the right of citizens to free and open information, and this right should be safeguarded by the state.”

Sayfullozoda has been hospitalized since February 7, when he was severely beaten outside his Dushanbe home by unidentified men.  He is recovering from concussion and serious injuries to his head.
