Azat Miftakhov, a mathematician and anarchist currently held at Penal Colony No. 18 in the remote Yamalo-Nenets region, told<\/a> reporters that the authorities had revoked the citizenship of Bakhrom Khamroev.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘They stripped him of it a year ago, in April, but the paperwork has only just arrived,’<\/em> Azat Miftakhov said. ‘It came as a complete surprise to him. He says he now has no citizenship at all. His Russian citizenship was automatic after the fall of the USSR; before that, he only held Soviet citizenship.’<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bakhrom Khamroev is the director of the Yordam<\/em> Foundation, an organisation providing legal and social support for migrants, and was a member of the prominent Memorial Human Rights Defence Centre<\/em> until it was forced to close by Russian authorities. He is also an activist for the Uzbek opposition group Birlik<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is currently serving a sentence of 13 years and nine months after being convicted of participating in the banned Hizb ut-Tahrir<\/em> organisation and sharing its materials online under Russia\u2019s anti-terrorism laws. Khamroev categorically denies any involvement with the group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-63692","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","regions-yamalo-nenetsky-autonomous-okrug","news-type-nashi-novosti-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nJailed political prisoner Bakhrom Khamroev left stateless by Russia - Political prisoners support.
