Stage 1 details (accusations/ charges/ Interpol notice/ extradition requests):

On July 7 and 8, several security service officers in the southern city of Kulob threatened Bobojon Kayumov’s mother and father at their family home. The officers stated that unless Kayumov ended his opposition work and specifically refrained from participating in the Dortmund conference they would “demolish” the family’s home. The officers then forced the two to record a videotaped statement condemning their son’s activities. On July 9, officers detained Kayumov’s father, holding him at the Kulob city security services facility until nighttime, and repeatedly interrogated him (Human Rights Watch, 2017)
