Activists from the Tajik opposition movement Group 24 said on March 11 that their leader, Suhrob Zafar, has been missing for two days. The activists say Zafar, who has resided in Turkey since 2014, received multiple threats in recent weeks from unknown individuals who said they would abduct him and take him back to Tajikistan. Last month, another of the group's activists, Nasimjon Sharifov, went missing in Istanbul and his whereabouts are still unknown. In March 2015, the movement's founder, businessman Umarali Quvatov, was assassinated in Istanbul.
