Abdukarim Abduhomidov, the head of the special division within the Ministry of Interior (MoI) for combating kidnapping, trafficking in persons, and racketeering, has told Asia-Plus that officers from his division arrested two residents of the Hissor district, a 30-year-old Ghaybullo Qodirov and a 33-yerar-old Marifat Zaborova, who were allegedly trafficking local young women to Dubai (UAE) for sexual exploitation over the past decade, in the spring this year. According to him, a court in the Sino district of Dushanbe sentenced Mr. Qodirov and Ms. Zaborova to six and eleven years in prison respectively in late June this year.
“The ringleader, a 45-year-old Mahbuba Qosimova, is currently wanted by police,” Mr. Abduhomidov said, stressing that four trafficking victims were revealed during the investigation process.
On the interaction and cooperation between Tajik police and UAE special forces in combating human trafficking, Abdukarim Abduhomidov said that inter-agency commission for combating trafficking in persons was preparing a legal foundation for this and working out a package of appropriate documents.
We will recall that a joint operation by Tajik police and United Arab Emirates special services freed a group of some 40 Tajik women in Dubai in June last year.
