Rostaq District Chief:
Mohammad Hussain Malim Hussain (20111019, 20120418)

Background:
People of the Rostaq District of Takhar live under the constant threat of gunfire, where Parliament’s own Pirem Qul Piram Qul , himself a well-known warlord, imposes brutal tyrannical rule over the people through his gunmen and commanders. On April 18th 2006, hundreds of people in the Takhar province of northern Afghanistan staged a demonstration. On April 13th, people of the minority Uzbek village Sayab arrested three gunmen who confessed that two boys were abducted in the personal four-wheel-drive vehicle of Commander Aenuddin and taken to an undisclosed area. Villagers flooded the District Office in protest, demanding an immediate investigation. They also provided names of eight other drug-dealers and warlords involved in similar crimes against the people. Pirem Qul was informed of the investigation during a Parliamentary session in Kabul and traveled to Rostaq to personally release his men from custody. This act intensified an already-angered crowd of hundreds, who surrounded the District Administrator’s office and protested against the criminals’ release. The Administration was forced to re-arrest the 5 suspects, but on the second charge, they were sent to Taloqan, center of Takhar province, rather than Rostaq where the crimes took place. There, the perpetrators were once again released by Sadruddin Alamboy (a member of the Provincial Assembly), the son of Aenuddin Alamboy.
