The widow of an Islamic State fighter, Olima Kamolova had pleaded with the Tajik government for months to help get her out of Afghanistan, where she was imprisoned as the wife of a foreign militant.
Tajik authorities eventually repatriated Kamolova and her four children last summer, just before the Taliban took power in Kabul.
The 31-year-old housewife, who had left Tajikistan with her husband in 2015, is now serving a 12-year sentence for “fighting as a mercenary in a foreign military conflict.”
She has rejected the charges and told the court she had merely followed her husband.
But Khairullo Habibullozoda, the judge at the city court in Vahdat — a small town outside of Dushanbe where Kamolova grew up — said he wasn’t convinced by the defendant’s argument that she was an innocent bystander. Her relatives said Kamolova lost her final appeal at the Supreme Court on January 7.

Technological advancements around the globe are disrupting the status quo even in the education sector. When it comes to student data, most educational institutions have different perspectives. Various academics now incorporate student scores, exams statistics, and other significant data indicators in their yearly pupil evaluations and focus on data-driven strategies.
Student data reports aid in strategic decision-making as they help evaluate the curriculum’s strengths and weaknesses. These data insights also improve student groupings and teaching methodology. Student data sets can be utilized to track the efficacy of the current strategy as well as provide a clear direction on the need for improvement and the nature of future changes required.

Indian shadow lender is building a so-called super app to offer various financial products on a single digital platform, joining other major non-bank finance companies in taking on growing competition from fintech firms.
“We already are in the process of building a super app,” Y.S. Chakravarti, chief executive officer of the company, said in an interview Monday on Bloomberg Television. “Three months from now, the super app should be ready, offering every financial product that a customer needs.”

The move follows another major shadow lender
, which has also been working on its consumer app, as the sector tries to play catch up after undergoing a crisis that saw a number of finance companies fold up. India’s central bank superseded the board of Ltd., Ltd. and Srei Equipment Finance Ltd. in recent months, citing governance concerns.
Several Indian fintechs, including One 97 Communications Ltd., already offer most financial products on their apps, luring in customers in the country that is traditionally under banked but is increasingly turning to digital forms of transactions.
Last month, Shriram Group said it would merge Shriram City Union Finance with Shriram Transport Finance in a restructuring that will create the largest shadow lender to consumers in the country. The revamp comes when India’s retail lending is picking up with consumers wanting to splurge on everything from two-wheelers to homes as a recovery takes hold in the country after the pandemic-induced slump.
