The group of Tajik Gastarbeiter arrived by train from the town of Artryom to Novosibirsk on May 31, 2003 at 17.30 after earnings. Sanovbar Negmatov affirms their being four - Tohir Vohidov, Sheroz Olimov and Numon Nabiyev. When we dismounted from the train transport militiamen approached us the checked documents, - tells Sanovbar Negmatov. - They brought us to the militia unit. Under the pretext of our crossing railway tracks in a forbidden place they composed a formal protocol of violation and made pay fine to the amount of 1030 Russian rubles from each person. After that they searched Numon Negmatov and "revealed" 1600 USA dollars allegedly without bank documents confirming this sum; 500 dollars being declared to be false. The militia officers took away his passport and demanded 500 dollars in exchange. Nabiyev refused to tickle their palms as the money belonged to other Tajik Gastarbeiter. After that they let him go without having returned the passport. After that we went to Tolmachyovo airport. In the building of the international terminal our documents were checked again, now by other militiamen. We were brought to the airport militia unit. A telephone rang. The militiaman who took a receiver asked: "Who of you is Numon Nabiyev?" He answered: "I am". The militiaman told that Nabiyev was searched. In some time he was put into the car and driven away. Only the next day Nabiyev appeared in the airport and told that he had been brought back to the railway militia unit where he was pulled out 100 dollars and 500 Russian rubles; the passport being retrieved. On June 1 in the evening, approximately at nine, we were waiting for the plane which was bound to perform flight 4930 to Khujand, we were to fly by this plane having five hours at our disposal before departure; a man in civil clothes came up to Numon Nabiyev and showed his official card, after that he took him to the car going in an unknown direction. Since that time we have no idea about his whereabouts".
As unverified assertions state, Nabiyev had over 10000 American dollars by himself; this money was earned by Tajik Gastarbeiter who had asked him to give it at home to their families. His old parents, his family multiple times applied to the law-enforcement bodies of Tajikistan in search of their missing son and father. Unfortunately, up to now nothing is known about his destiny. "We ask all good-willed people and especially the employees of law enforcement bodies of Russia to help us in finding our son Numon Nabiyev", - this is the application with which Mashrabkhon Nabiyev, aged 80, residing in Chorkuh jamoat of Isfara of Sughd viloyat, addressed "Varorud" editorial-board.
