The Committee to Protect Journalists’ officials are outraged that the General Procuracy protested against the Supreme Court’s decision

 

On October 19, 2005, Ann Kuper, CPJ’s Executive Director, said she is “outraged that the Prosecutor General has refused to release Jumaboy Tolibov despite the Supreme Court's decision.”

“The fact that the Prosecutor General's Office felt free to ignore Tajikistan's highest court calls into question the country's commitment to the rule of law.”

Sabargul Kurbanova, spokesman for the Prosecutor General's Office, said that the authorities suspended implementing the Supreme Court's decision, just to if the release is really justified.
