DUSHANBE, June 6, 2016, Asia-Pus -- Another son of a Tajik lawyer, who is representing Tajik tycoon Zayd Saidov, has been jailed, Radio Liberty’s Tajik Service reports.
A court in the Vahdat Township on June 2 sentenced Daler Tabarov to six months in prison for failure to report an unspecified crime.
Tabarov''s brother, Firouz Tabarov, was sentenced to 13 1/2 years in prison in February for promoting anti-state propaganda.
Their father, lawyer Ishoq Tabarov, told RFE/RL earlier that the charges against his sons were politically motivated.
Tabarov is a lawyer for opposition businessman Zayd Saidov, the leader of the unregistered New Tajikistan opposition party, RFE/RL’s Tajik Service reports.
Saidov has been serving a 29-year prison term since 2013. He was found guilty of financial fraud, polygamy, and sexual relations with a minor.
Saidov and his supporters deny the charges, saying they are politically motivated.
We will recall that Ishoq told RFE/RL’s Tajik Service on March 14 that his family is coming under pressure from the authorities because of his professional activities.
Lawyer Ishoq Tabarov said that time that his son, Daler Tabarov, had been charged with failure to report a crime, a charge his representatives have called politically motivated.
Saidov''s other lawyer, Shuhrat Qudratov, was sentenced to nine years in prison on a bribe-taking charge in January 2015.
