Daily Journal:

I met with Nikolai Nikolaev from Nizhny Novgorod and Bakhtier Satori, a Russian of Tajik origin living in Moscow. We discussed the situation related to the fact that for almost a month one of the Tajik oppositionists, Umarali Kuvvatov, has been in prison in Dubai. We were asked to provide informational support for this story. At least seven police officers came, including an investigator and a lieutenant colonel from the central office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and asked to see documents. We showed them, they asked us to go to the Basmanny police station to check the authenticity. We drove up in their car, arrived, punched our documents somewhere for a while, then they said that there was a mistake, apologized and said goodbye. Nothing else was explained.

In my opinion, the most likely version is that the Tajik state security is active in this way. Bakhtier Satori is a former employee of the migration service of the Tajik Embassy and is apparently the focus of their attention. But it is impossible to say for sure that this version is the main one. We don't have any concrete facts to support this.
