This was reported on Wednesday by the Department of Internal Affairs for the city of Dushanbe.
During the inspection of Safarova’s living quarters, material evidence was discovered and seized – objects and accessories that were allegedly used to perform magical rituals and predictions.
Based on the collected materials, an administrative protocol was drawn up against Safarova Sh. under Article 482 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Tajikistan – “Engaging in witchcraft, sorcery and other actions that mislead citizens.”
The case materials were submitted to the court for consideration, by whose decision an administrative penalty was imposed on the offender in the form of a fine in the amount of 80 calculated indicators, which is equivalent to 6,000 somoni.
Law enforcement agencies remind that such activities violate the legislation of the Republic of Tajikistan and mislead citizens, causing moral and material harm.
