Serious concern regarding Law No. 2048 “On the Regulation of Traditions and Ceremonies in the Republic of Tajikistan” ( “Law”), as amended in 2024, which imposes significant restrictions on expressions of cultural and religious identity. Among other provisions, the Law bans clothing deemed “alien to national culture”; prohibits children from participating in celebrations for the two major Muslim holidays, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha; limits celebrations for pilgrims returning from Hajj; and restricts the scale and scope of weddings and other ceremonial gatherings. While the Law is presented as a measure to curb excessive expenditures, preserve national values and prevent extremism, we are concerned that it unjustifiably restricts a range of fundamental human rights, including freedoms of expression and religion and cultural rights, and may counterproductively undermine social cohesion and efforts to prevent violent extremism.Alleged victims: - |
