Tajikistan Supreme Court Rejects Appeal of Conscientious Objector
Daniil Islamov in the courtroom
On January 11, 2018, the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of Tajikistan unilaterally rejected Daniil Islamov’s appeal to acquit him and release him from prison. Inexplicably, the judges conducted the case in their private chambers without a hearing and upheld Mr. Islamov’s conviction on the false charge of evading military service. He is being held in a detention facility in Kurgan-tyube until his prison term expires in April 2018.n January 11, 2018, the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of Tajikistan unilaterally rejected Daniil Islamov’s appeal to acquit him and release him from prison.
