What is known about General Shoza Iskandarov?

Shokh Iskandarov rose to prominence in 1998 after the detention of units led by Makhmud Khudoiberdiyev. In the autumn of 2010 he took an active part in the operation against the armed group of Moldo Abdullo, after which he became deputy head of the regional police department.
His name surfaced in August 2012, when Shakarmo Khudodova, a resident of Khorog, wrote a letter to Defense Minister Sherali Khairulloyev complaining that Shokh Iskandarov and his 30 fighters had taken over her house and refused to leave it.

Open sources report that Shokh Iskandarov leads a group of 30 fighters who have received special training.

The video footage proves that a person holding an official position, in the company of armed militants, invaded the territory of Kyrgyzstan.

By doing so, Tajikistan violated the fundamental principles of the UN Charter by attacking civilians and destroying civilian objects. Tajikistan must be held accountable for its military aggression against Kyrgyzstan.
