A/HRC/25/60/Add.2 a valid travel document issued by the United States of America with a Ukrainian visa, was allegedly detained upon arrival at Kyiv’s Boryspil International Airport on 5 February 2013, and has remained in detention, pending an extradition request to Tajikistan. On 15 March 2013, Kyiv’s Shevchenko District Court decided to continue the detention of Mr. Abdullodzhonov for up to twelve months, while the General Prosecutor’s Office continues its examination of the extradition request by Tajikistan. While ordering Abdullodzhonov’s continued detention, the Court allegedly acknowledged that the materials provided as evidence confirm the existence of his refugee status. It is further alleged that if Mr. Abdullodzhonov is extradited to Tajikistan, he will be at risk of being tortured. Mr. Abdullodzhonov served as Prime Minister of Tajikistan in 1992-1993 during the civil war, and is a prominent opposition leader. He also ran for the Presidency of Tajikistan in 1994, and lost to Emomali Rahmon, Tajikistan’s current president. He started to receive death threats and had three attempts on his life in 1995. After fleeing Tajikistan, several of his political associates were reportedly killed. Mr. Abdullodzhonov was accused of being involved in an assassination attempt against Emomali Rahmon, as well as in organized crime and terrorism, though he was no longer living in Tajikistan. Reportedly, Mr. Abdullodzhonov denies these charges and was granted political asylum in the United States in June 1999. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government for the response dated 30 April 2013 where it is stated that the Prosecutor General denied the request of extradition of Mr. Abdullodzhonov to the Republic of Tajikistan and released him from custody the same day. The Special Rapporteur commends the Government of Ukraine for honoring article 3 of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and, should there be any further legal developments in the case, encourages the Government of Ukraine to continue its engagement with the mandate.
