1. Tajikistan is building on its impressive narcotics
interdiction record with a new campaign against CD piracy.
According to Asia, Plus, the tax police, Ministry of Security
and other law enforcement agencies have seized over 90,000 CDs
and DVDs in a month-long operation. Raids on Dushanbe vendors
have resulted in shutting down 35 pirate operations. Most of
the illegal, unlicensed merchandise is imported into Tajikistan,
probably from Russia, but possibly from China too. News reports
claim that Tajikistan is considering asking for Russian help to
further the investigation.
