Tajikistan: Government shuts down independent radio station
Tajik authorites have taken the independent Imruz (Today) radio station off the air, citing “technical problems.” Since it began broadcasting last summer, Imruz had become the most popular FM station in the Tajik capital, Dushanbe, and the surrounding area.
