The long arm of the police state |
 | 06.03.2021 | Akhal-TekeTurkmen authorities go to great lengths to persecute wayward citizens abroad. Not that it stops them from trying. And often succeeding. On February 18, Myalikberdy Allamuradov, a young Turkmen man studying at the Kalmyk State University in the southern Russian city of Elista went onto a main square to hold a one-person picket.

Or rather, they do, but nobody should know of them. The crash of a military helicopter in the Ahal province on January 13 that claimed the lives of three men is a neat illustration of this principle. Amsterdam-based website Turkmen.news has followed the story closely from the outset. No media inside the country has alluded to the incident.
