Biography


Daler Tokhtayev is a Jehovah's Witness originally from Tajikistan. In April 2024, he ended up in a pre-trial detention center for his peaceful religious beliefs. Sakhalin, where he now lives, and his homeland are separated by more than 5500 kilometers. Relatives and friends in Tajikistan and Russia are worried about Daler and his family.


Daler was born in November 1990 in the city of Tursunzade (Tajikistan). He has three elder brothers and one younger brother. Their father is no longer alive. As a child, Daler was engaged in weightlifting, at one of the competitions he took first place. He was also fond of football, which he still loves.


In 2002, Daler's family moved to Sakhalin for economic reasons and settled in Poronaysk, his mother's hometown. There, Daler graduated from college and received the qualification of an electric and gas welder. The young man worked in his specialty on the railway, where he additionally trained as an assistant driver and electrician, whom he worked until his arrest.


Daler's mother became one of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1999. During his teenage years, Daler also decided to study the Bible thoroughly. As a result, in 2008 he joined his mother and three of his brothers on the Christian path.


On Sakhalin, the young man met his future wife Zhanna, who shares his life values. In 2012 they got married. The couple love to travel and spend time with friends in nature, fry kebabs together.


The criminal prosecution had a negative impact on the health of the Tokhtayevs. The question arose about the dismissal of both from work. Zhanna was forbidden to meet with her husband and call him. The family is grieving the separation and is concerned that their good reputation has been undermined.


Relatives who do not share Daler's religious convictions are perplexed as to how it was possible to imprison such an honest, peace-loving and decent person.

 KAZAKHSTAN Conscientious objector's 6 months in military detention 24 May 2024 In autumn 2022, Jehovah's Witness Daniil Smal presented the Conscription Office a certificate from the Jehovah's Witness Centre that he is a "religious minister". This should have exempted him from conscription. He was summoned on 17 May 2023, and forcibly transferred to a military unit. He was freed only in November 2023 when Almaty Military Garrison Court ruled his conscription illegal. The Military Court rejected the military's appeal in April 2024.
