DUSHANBE
, August 1, Asia-Plus - The trial of six persons, including three officers from the Qairoqqum police directorate and serviceman of Tajik border troops, will begin in a military court in Khujand on August 3.
They are charged with negligence that led to the attack on the Qairoqqum jail and murder of the prison warden.
Three officers from the Qairoqqum police directorate, Usmonov, Sayfiddinov and Hoshimov, face charges of negligence, abuse of office and bribe taking.
As it had been reported earlier, unknown men attacked a prison in Qairoqqum on January 25 this year, killing the prison warden and freeing Fathullo Rahimov, who had been detained on suspicion of having illegally possessed weapons and called for the violent overthrow of
Tajikistan
’s current form of government. Prison warden Bobojon Gadoboyev was killed by the armed assailants, who escaped along with the freed prisoner.
According to Abduqodir Noorov, an official with
Tajikistan
’s Main Military Prosecutor’s Office, the gunmen were identified as Abdurrahim Umarov, Abdukholiq Boboyev, Alijon Rustamov and Dilshod Rahimov.
Abduqodir Noorov says the law enforcement agencies have managed to come over the assailants’ tracks following a May 12 raid on border posts in
Tajikistan
and
Kyrgyzstan
. “Dilshod Rahimov and Alijon Rustamov were killed in a special operation by Tajik and Kyrgyz power-wielding agencies to eliminate the gunmen on the
territory
of
Kyrgyzstan
,” the prosecutor said. Two others – Abdurrahim Umarov and Abdukholiq Boboyev – have managed to flee and at present they are probably hiding themselves in
Kyrgyzstan
, according to him.
Noorov says the investigation has established that all members of this criminal group are active members of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) and the ringleader was Alijon Rustamov, resident of the Uzbek region of
Namangan
.
