Tajikistan\'s Democratic Party has sent a written appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian Prosecutor-General Vladimir Ustinov, and Tajik President Imomali Rakhmonov asking them to clarify the details of party head Muhammadruzi Iskandarov\'s transfer from Russia to Tajikistan, RFE/RL\'s Tajik Service reported on 2 May. Iskandarov, who was released from detention in Ru ssia in early April, had told his lawyers he was subsequently abducted in Russia and brought to Tajikistan by unknown individuals. Russian and Tajik authorities have not commented on the circumstances of Iskandarov\'s return to Tajikistan. Rahmatullo Valiev, deputy head of the Democratic Party, said that the party has also sent its appeal to the United Nations, the OSCE, and the British, French, German, and U.S. embassies. If the party does not receive an answer from Tajik authorities, Valiev said, it will withdraw from the country\'s Public Council. (RFE/RL)
