The special commission, on the basis of the decision, destroyed more than 1,000 cold weapons that were seized from teenagers and young people in the capital of Tajikistan during 2022.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs for Dushanbe reported that over the past year, as part of the Knife special operation in the capital, 1,120 cold weapons were seized from teenagers and young people, including 766 knives, 335 brass knuckles, 14 bits, 4 stun guns and one axe.

With regard to all the detainees, legal measures of influence have already been taken by the relevant decisions of the courts.

Operation “Knife” in Dushanbe has been carried out since 2018 “in order to prevent the commission of crimes with the use of bladed weapons and the carrying of objects used as weapons.”

The metropolitan police notes that “it is thanks to these measures that the level of crime among adolescents and young people, especially crimes committed with cold weapons, has decreased.”

“In 2022, the crime rate among teenagers in Dushanbe decreased by 14.4%, and cases of hooliganism by 46.1%. Last year, the crime rate among youth also decreased by 17.7% in the capital of Tajikistan,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs reports.
