32 killed in Tajikistan Islamic riot

Three prison guards and 29 detainees have been killed in a high-security prison in Tajikistan after indicted Islamic State aggressors began a riot, the Central Asian country's Justice Ministry said on Monday.

The ministry said the riot broke out late on Sunday in the prison in the city of Vakhdat, 10 km east of the capital Dushanbe, as activists equipped themselves with knives and killed three guards and five individual prisoners.

One of the instigators of the riot was BekhruzGulmurod, a child of GulmurodKhalimov, a Tajik special powers colonel who surrendered to Islamic State in 2015 and, as per the ministry, has since been slaughtered in Syria.

Security powers have slaughtered 24 activists and re-established request in the prison which has 1,500 detainees, the ministry included.

Islamic State, which at one point controlled enormous swathes of land in Syria and Iraq, however, has now lost its fortifications, guaranteed duty regarding another Tajik prison riot last November, which pursued a dangerous assault by its devotees on Western sightseers in July 2018.
