March 6 marked one year since the arrest of Khurshed Fozilov, a Tajik journalist who wrote for media outlets in the country from the Zerafshan region. After over two months of detention, he was sentenced to 7 years in prison. His relatives say that Khurshed's arrest and imprisonment have shattered their lives. However, they still believe that he is innocent and that "one day he will return home."
