Asylum is refused to the woman from Tajikistan who faces deportation from

Kosovo authorities have rejected the asylum request of Sitora Atomamadova, a citizen of Tajikistan, who has lived in Kosovo for more than 20 years.

The reasons for the decision are not yet known, while her lawyer, Labinot Vata, told Radio Free Europe that he will file an appeal against this decision.

Since the beginning of November, Atomamadova has been held in the Detention Center for Foreigners in Vranidoll, near the capital of Kosovo, Pristina, after receiving a deportation order from Kosovo.

In advance, her application for citizenship was rejected and her residence permit in Kosovo was revoked, decisions about which she complained, making a request for asylum in parallel.

The reasons for these decisions against her are not publicly known, although local media reported on November 5 that she is suspected of spying for Russia, information that has not been officially confirmed.

The institutions of Kosovo are closed to provide information related to this issue, as well as they have rejected the request of Radio Free Europe for a visit and interview with Atomamadova.

Radio Free Europe's Tajik service, known locally as Radio Ozodi, contacted Atomamadova's family a few days ago, which confirmed that she has lived in Kosovo for a long time.

Even her lawyer told REL that his client has lived in Kosovo since 2001.

He said that, according to information from his client, she had worked or been engaged as a translator for well-known local and international organizations and had completed nursing education.

Among the organizations mentioned are the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and the NATO peacekeeping mission (KFOR).

UNMIK, in a response to REL on November 18, said that according to the data they have, "Sitora Atomamadova did not work for UNMIK".

On the other hand, KFOR, on November 19, told REL that this type of information (if Atomamadova worked there) "cannot be disclosed due to privacy protection regulations".

Born in 1972 in the city of Khorog, Tajikistan, Atomamadova left her country in the early 2000s.

Her family claims she has no ties to Russia, although she visited the country ten years ago to meet her mother, who was visiting another family member.

Tajikistan was part of the Soviet Union until independence in 1991.

However, the country faced a bitter civil war from 1992 to 1997 and has since been led by President Emomali Rahmon.

According to her family, in Kosovo, she worked as a translator and even as an English teacher on several occasions.

In recent years, six citizens of Tajikistan have been deported or extradited from various European countries.

This has increased especially since Russia accused Tajik nationals of the terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall in Moscow and there have been reports of Tajiks participating in terrorist attacks in Iran and Turkey and preparing such attacks in Germany.

All deported or extradited Tajik nationals without exception were sentenced to long prison terms.

During the period 2018-2022, 550 forced removals from the territory of the Republic of Kosovo were executed.

The largest number of people left were from Albania with 80 percent, 9 percent were citizens from Serbia and 11 percent from other countries.
