        A foreign journalist was denied information

      On December 17 2004, Dilafrus Djamolova, a reporter with Tajik branch of Svoboda radio, was denied information by Hudjant police officers about students arrested on suspicion of being members of extremist party Hizb-ut-Tahrir. Journalist’s arguments that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had announced these facts and that information had been already published by the media outlets in the capital, had no effect on the officers as well. Their reason for not giving her information was that journalists impede their investigation; journalists, therefore won’t be given information and more so if they are foreign.
