DUSHANBE, July 26, 2011, Asia-Plus – To-date, Tajik security forces have recaptured or killed 24 high-profile prison escapees, leaving just one of the 25 escapees still on the run, according to Tajik law enforcement authorities.
He is Uzbek national Homidullo Yuldoshev, 28, who was serving his prison sentence on charges of illegal border crossing, organization of criminal group, and public calls for forcibly changing the constitutional system of Tajikistan, the source said.
We will recall that 25 convicts serving long jail terms escaped from the State Committee for National Security (SCNS)’s detention facility in Dushanbe in the early hours of morning of August 23 2010, killing four prison guards. Dressing in camouflage, the escapees fled toward eastern Tajikistan. The majority of the fugitives were among 46 people convicted by the Supreme Court on August 19, 2010 of terrorism, drug trafficking, and seeking the forcible overthrow of the government. The escaped prisoners include six Russian citizens, four Afghans, and two Uzbeks. Most were accused of participating in the 2009 armed rebellion in Tavildara.
President Emomali Rahmon fired almost the entire leadership of the security services after the jailbreak.
