A student came to consult me about Masters opportunities abroad. Question: "What kind of GPT should I keep to increase my chances to get a scholarship?" He meant 'GPA' of course.😬😅 #honestlapsus

Free screening in multiple cities in KZ of this indie movie about bride kidnapping. It's rough and depressing but necessary. I was happy to see many young men in the room.

I've met Ilhomjon in 2010 when he was the Head of the Islamic Revival Party for the Sughd region and he greatly helped me in my research. Now he is a political refugee in Lithuania. Here, he tells a/his story of political repression. Sad and disturbing.

Where did they find this "expert"? This is so completely off! "Taliban kicked ISIS-K out so they went to Tajikistan". "this whole area, Dagestan, if anyone remembers the Boston bombers, it's right near by". "This has been a hotbed for AlQaeda".

@BrucePannier This is crazy, I never thought they would dare to go there. I wonder how society will react, what will imams tell their believers? This is absurd.

Tajikistan banned hijabs! I was in TJ in May and people were mentioning raids against women in hijabs but I thought this was the usual state harrassment. I did not think they would dare to outlaw it.

What's up with that pyjama party of Tajik migrants? Why are they dressed like that? Why were they arrested? This story is so bizarre. #Tajikistan #migration
