Gulomov, head of the Tax police, refused to answer to the question of the Monitoring reporter what the reasons were for sealing off the printing firm. On 26 January 2005, the Tax police seized circulation of Nerui Sukhan newspaper and sealed off Kaihon printing firm [that is owned by the Journalists’ Memory Foundation of Tajikistan]. The paper resumed publishing on 7 July 2005. However 9 days later, Tax police officers visited the printing firm once again.
