DUSHANBE, Tajikistan – A riot at a prison in Tajikistan has left 32 people dead, including 24 members of the Islamic State group and 3 guards, authorities said Monday, May 20.

Among the leaders of the riot, the Tajik authorities identified the 20-year-old son of the former head of Tajik special forces who became a member of the IS leadership in Syria, where he was killed in September 2017. Tens of thousands of people were killed in the country during a five-year civil war in the 1990s when rebel groups including Islamists rose up against the government.

But as we strive to do all this and speak truth to power, we face constant threats to our independence.
