Tajikistan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) has announced plans to compile a unified database containing the names of all fortune tellers, sex workers, and drug users within the country. According to a press release from the MVD, the initiative aims to monitor and potentially control these populations. The database will serve as a centralized record for law enforcement and related agencies. Details regarding data collection methods and the intended use of the information beyond monitoring have not been fully disclosed. This move raises questions about privacy and human rights concerns surrounding the targeting of these specific groups in Tajikistan. The government has not yet commented on potential rehabilitation programs accompanying the database creation. It remains unclear what legal repercussions individuals listed in the database may face.
