Tajikistan sentences 170 people for last year`s failed military coup
"Criminal cases were launched into some 200 people… We gathered solid evidence against them," Prosecutor-General Yusuf Rahmon said, adding 170 had been convicted of having played a role in the failed coup.
The country’s secular government started a crackdown in the aftermath of the coup, banning the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan (IRPT) as a terrorist organization and arresting a dozen of its senior members.
