The journalist himself considers that he was put the drugs furtively. At the trial, as the Uznews edition informed, it was found out that the patrol dog, trained to search drugs, did not react to Abdurahmanov’s car. This fact was confirmed by a cynologist participating in the journalist’s detention. Medical examination proves that Salidjon Abdurahmanov does not use drugs.
Earlier, Salidjon Abdurahmanov worked for the “Liberty” and “Voice of America” Radios, and he was one of the founders of the Uznews.net news resource. After his arrest, numerous international journalistic organizations, including the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists, spoke in his support. Abdurahmanov’s lawyer said the case was “contract” by the authorities and stated he would lodge a complaint against the verdict.
