DUSHANBE, June 12, 2013, Asia-Plus – Two people have been detained in Kulob on suspicion of participating in a June 10 attack on the Islamic Revival Party (IRP) leader Muhiddin Kabiri, an official source at the Interior Ministry’s office in Kulob told Asia-Plus Thursday afternoon.
According to the source, they are not residents of Kulob and administrative case instituted against them has already moved to a court.
We will recall that IRP leader Muhiddin Kabiri was pelted with tomatoes and eggs on a visit to the city of Kulob on June 10. Some 15 men and women pelted Muhiddin Kabiri with tomatoes and eggs, accusing the party members of wakening the civil war in the 1900s and seeking to destabilize the country today.
Since Kulob tax authorities closed the IRP’s office in Kulob on June 9, Kabiri held a meeting with locals in the house of Mahmadsharif Nabiyev, the head of the IRP’s organization for Kulob.
The IRP spokesman Mahmoudjon Fayzrahmonov says the incident took place after the meeting.
IRP released a statement on June 10 noting that it cannot be ruled out that the assault was organized by officers from the State Committee for National Security (SCNS)’s office in Kulob.
