The Democratic Party of Tajikistan released a statement today saying that its leader Mahmadruzi Iskandarov has been missing since 15 April.
The statement urges Russian authorities and international organizations to help search for him.
Tajik authorities have sought Iskandarov's extradition to charge him with terrorism and embezzlement. The same authorities criticized Russia for releasing him earlier this month.
Iskandarov recently told RFE/RL that he would run for president in upcoming Tajik elections.
