Human Rights Watch (HRW), an NGO devoted to documenting human rights abuses around the world, released a statement on Wednesday calling for Tajikistan to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin – who is set to arrive in the Central Asian country on Thursday. The International Criminal Court (ICC) – of which Tajikistan is a member – issued an arrest warrant for Putin in March 2023 for his involvement in the forced deportation of over 20,000 Ukrainian children by Russian forces.   JOIN US ON
