portraits in the centre in Dushanbe

At a January 2023 meeting in Khorugh, officials insisted that local people must remove portraits of the Ismaili spiritual leader, the Aga Khan, which hang in places of honour in homes. Officials had earlier complained of such portraits in the centre in Dushanbe. The Aga Khan IV, the 49th hereditary imam and spiritual leader of the world’s Ismaili Shia Muslims, was not allowed to visit Tajikistan after 2012 – the regime rejected his attempt to visit in 2017 during his Diamond Jubilee visits to Ismaili communities in more than 10 countries. Authorities both in Khorugh and in Dushanbe obstructed ceremonies in February 2025 related to the Aga Khan IV’s death and the appointment of his son as the Aga Khan V, the 50th imam. ดูหนัง2025
