The police of Tajikistan have officially announced that they intend to take tougher measures against persons posing as sorcerers, fortune tellers and healers, as well as their clients. The warning was posted on the website of the country’s Ministry of Internal Affairs. As noted in the publication, as a result of operational and preventive checks it was established that “some citizens believe in witchcraft, go to soothsayers, healers, pay them for criminal acts and trust their predictions.” “In the last month alone, cases have been registered against 150 persons (ed. – sorcerers and soothsayers). Legal measures are being taken against them,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan reported. In this regard, the department also emphasized that in the future, in order to prevent such violations, citizens who use the services of soothsayers and healers will also be invited to the units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to enter their data with photographs. into the card index.

As reported, in the first six months of 2024, more than 17 thousand labor migrants from Tajikistan were expelled from Russia, which is more than in the whole of 2023.
