A court in Tajikistan\'s northern Sughd province on August 4 sentenced Yori Yoqubov, a stateless individual and resident of Uzbekistan, to a 15-year prison term for espionage on behalf of Uzbekistan. A source in Tajikistan\'s Security Ministry said that Yoqubov, an assistant epidemiologist in Uzbekistan\'s Sirdaryo province, was recruited by Uzbekistan\'s National Security Service to spy in Tajikistan\'s Sughd region, where his parents and relatives reside in the town of Istaravshon. Yoqubov was detained in Istaravshon in May after \"he had obtained economic and political information constituting a state secret there and handed it over to officers of the Uzbek National Security Service,\" the source said.Visit also
