Today marks the birthday of one of my esteemed brothers and steadfast comrades. Sadly, this year he commemorates his special day behind the oppressive walls of imprisonment. Yet, his spirit of resistance remains unbroken.
Rahmatjon Mahmadjon, a courageous and honorable young man, stands as one of the most distinguished sons of the Tajik nation. At just 23 years old, he entered the political sphere with unwavering resolve to fight for justice and truth. Despite immense challenges, he stood firm. In 2021, Emomali Rahmon’s authoritarian regime, in flagrant violation of international law, abducted him from the Russian Federation and forcibly transferred him to Tajikistan, sentencing him to an unjust 20 years in prison.
We will never forget the betrayal of the Russian authorities and their accomplices in Rahmatjon’s abduction. A day will surely come when all those responsible for such unlawful actions will be held to account.
My dear brother, with the utmost respect and sincerity, I extend my heartfelt congratulations on your birthday. I pray to the Almighty that you will soon be freed from the clutches of oppression and find true happiness and peace.
Happy Birthday!
Sincerely,
Ubaydullo Saidi
