6This post by Russian journalist Igor Rotar was originally published in Russian on Rosbalt.ru and translated into English for Global Voices by Olga Dmitrieva.Ity lahatsoratry ny mpanoratra gazety rosiana Igor Rotar ity dia nivoaka voalohany tamin'ny teny rosiana tao amin'ny Rosbalt.ru ary nadikan'i Olga Dmitrieva amin'ny teny anglisy ho an'ny Global Voices.
7It is part of our campaign #FreeAlexSodiqov: GV Author Detained in Tajikistan.Ao anatin'ny fanentananay #FreeAlexSodiqov: Mpanoratry ny GV voatazona ao Tajikistan.
8The detention of Alexander Sodiqov, a young Tajik researcher accused of spying by the Tajik authorities but who was in fact just carrying out sociological fieldwork in Gorno-Badakhshan under a contract with the U.K.'s University of Exeter, has sparked outrage among scholars, journalists and human rights activists.Niteraka fahatezerana teo amin'ny mpampianatra oniversite, mpanoratra gazety ary mpikatroky ny zon'olombelona ny fitazonana an'i Alexander Sodiqov, tanora Tajik mpikaroka voampangan'ny manampahefana Tajik ho manao asam-pitsikilovana nefa ny tena marina dia manao asam-pikarohana ara-piarahamonina ao Gorno-Badakhshan noho ny fifanarahana amin'ny Oniversite britanika ao Exeter izy.
9More than 30,000 signatures, including those of Western and Russian researchers, have been collected in support of Sodiqov.Mihoatra ny 30.000 ny sonia voangona izay nahitana Tandrefana sy Rosiana mpikaroka ho fanohanana an'i Sodiqov.
10Nearly all known international organizations have stood up for him and articles noting the arbitrary behaviour of Tajik security chiefs have appeared in the most prominent American, Canadian and British newspapers.Saika ny fikambanana iraisampirenena fanta-daza rehetra no mijoro hiaro azy ary mivoaka amin'ny gazety malaza Amerikana, Kanadiana ary Britanika ny lahatsoratra manamarika ny fihetsika tsy ara-drariny ataon'ny lehiben'ny fiarovana Tajik.
11However, what is most important for Russians is not even the absurdity of this situation but the fact that the Tajik precedent is likely to play out in their country as well, because it is fully correspondent with ongoing Russian trends.Na izany aza, ny tena zava-dehibe ho an'ny Rosiana dia tsy ny fahaketrenan'ny toe-draharaha fa ny fahitana fa mety hampiharina ao amin'ny fireneny ihany koa ity raharaha nosantarin'ny Tajik ity, satria mifandray tanteraka amin'ny zavamisy rosiana efa mihatsikaritra tsikelikely.
12In Russia there have been several cases where scholars were convicted for passing publicly available data on to foreigners.Misy ny tranga maro any Rosia izay anenjehana ny mpaka diplaoma ambony ho mampita ho an'ny vahiny ampahibemaso ny tahirin-kevitra hitany.
13The recent Russian Foreign Agents Law, too, offers major opportunities for espionage accusations.Ny lalàna Rosiana momba ny asam-pitsikilovana vahiny ihany koa dia ahitana trangam-panamelohana maro azo anenjehana olona ho fanaovana asam-pitsikilovana.
14Now if some organization like “Memorial” is gathering facts about human rights violations in the North Caucasus, while working on Western grants, it may well be interpreted as espionage on behalf of a foreign government.Ankehitriny raha misy ny fikambanana sahala amin'ny “Memorial” manangona porofon'ny fanitsakitsahana ny zon'olombelona any Kaokazy Avaratra, raha miasa vatsian'ny Tandrefana, dia mety azo adika ho fanaovana asam-pitsikilovana ho an'ny governemanta vahiny izany.
15Foreign researchers who have called for release of their colleague also point out an indirect connection between Sodiqov's case and Russian realities.Nasongadin'ireo vahiny mpikaroka izay niantso ho amin'ny famotsorana ny mpitovy asa aminy ihany koa ny fifandraisana ankolaky ny raharaha Sodiqov sy ny zavamisy rosiana.
16Edward Schatz, an associate professor of political science at the University of Toronto and the supervisor of Sodiqov's doctoral work, reasons:Mihevitra tahaka izao i Edward Schatz, profesora mpiara-miasa amin'ny siansa politika ao amin'ny Oniversiten'i Toronto sy mpanara-maso ny devoara hahazoan'i Sodiqov ny doktorà :
17As NATO forces leave Central Asia, Canada and the West should not leave Tajikistan to Russian influence, if that influence means authoritarian abuses of power and deepening kleptocracy.Raha mandao an'i Azia Atsinanana ny OTAN, tsy tokony hamela an'i Tajikistan ho eo ambanin'ny tarakevitra rosiana i Canada sy ny Tandrefana, raha midika ho fihoaram-pahefana sy fanamafisana ny fitondram-pangalatra izany tarakevitra izany.
18We need to partner with those who seek to minimize abuses and who hold states like Tajikistan to their obligations under international law.Mila miara-miasa amin'ireo mitady izay hanakelezana izany fihoara-pahefana izany isika ary hampijoro ny fitondrana tahaka an'i Tajikistan hanatontosa ny andraikiny eo ambanin'ny lalàna iraisampirenena.
19Unless and until Russia becomes that kind of partner, we need to be wary about its influence.Mandra-pahatonga an'i Rosia ho ao amin'izany fiaraha-miasa izany, dia mila mitandrina amin'ny ambaindainy isika.
20The Tajik precedent may well affect journalists, too.Mety hisy fiantraikany amin'ny mpanoratra gazety ihany koa ity raharaha Tajik voalohany ity.
21Here is the official press release of the State Committee for National Security in Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region:Indro ny fanambarana an-gazety amin'ny fomba ofisialy avy amin'ny Komitim-Piarovam-Pirenena ao amin'ny faritra mizakatenan'i Gorno-Badakhshan:
22Preliminary inspection showed that Sodiqov was invited by email on June 9 to meet with a representative of a foreign state … The meeting was held on June 10 this year, firstly face-to-face with notes taken, and then in the evening at the residence of the main representative of a foreign secret service working under diplomatic cover.Ny fanaraha-maso savaranonando dia nampiseho fa nasaina tamin'ny alalan'ny imailaka hihaona tamin'ny solontenan'ny firenena vahiny iray i Sodiqov tamin'ny 9 Jona … Notontosaina tamin'ny 10 jolay tamin'ity taona ity ny fihaonana, ny fihaonana voalohany nifanatrika sady nisy fandraisana naoty, ary avy eo tamin'ny takariva tao amin'ny tranon'ny solontena voalohan'ny sampam-pitsikilovana vahiny misalotra andraikitra diplaomatika.
23He was assigned a specific task by the said person and a sum of money to complete it.Nomen'izany olona voatonona izany asa manokana izy sy vola bebe ihany hamenoana azy.
24During the meeting in Dushanbe, A.Nandritra ny fihaonana tany Dushanbe,dia niangaviana i A.
25Sodiqov was requested to go to the city of Khorog as part of a conspiracy to meet a Tajik national, Alim Sherzamonov, and gather information of an intelligence nature from the latter by means of a pre-prepared questionnaire.Sodiqov handeha any amin'ny tanànan'i Khorog ka, ao anatin'ny tetidratsy, dia hihaona amin'ilay Tajik , Alim Sherzamonov, sy hanangona fampahafantarana manana endrika fitsikilovana avy amin'ity olona voatonona farany ity ny andiam-panontaniana isafidianam-balinteny.
26When this information is translated into a normal language, it runs as follows.Rehefa nadika tamin'ny teny tsotra izany fampahafantarana izany, dia mizotra tahaka izao.
27A British colleague of Sodiqov, political scientist John Heathershaw, invited the Tajik scholar to meet him in Dushanbe.Nisy Britanika mpiasa miaraka amin'i Sodiqov, John Heathershaw mpahay siansa politika, nanasa ny Tajik mpampianatra ambony hihaona aminy ao Dushanbe.
28After the meeting both researchers went to a dinner at the British Embassy.Taorian'ny fihaonana dia nandeha nisakafo tany amin'ny Masoivoho Britanika izy miarahalahy mianaka ireo.
29The British ambassador tried to dissuade the British professor from going to the Pamirs because of the tensions there.Niezaka ny nandresy lahatra ilay mpampianatra Britanika ny Ambasadaoro Britanika tsy handehanany any Pamirs noho ny fifanenjanana misy any.
30Then John Heathershaw offered Sodiqov the opportunity to conduct a sociological survey in the region.Avy eo i John Heathershaw nanolotra tamin'i Sodiqov ny fahafaha-manao fanadihadiana ara-piarahamonina misy ao amin'ny faritra.
31Umed Babakhanov, a famous Tajik journalist and editor-in-chief of Tajikistan's Asia Plus news agency, notes that he escaped the “spy fate” of Alexander Sodiqov by a miracle.Umed Babakhanov, Tajik mpanoratra gazety malaza sady lehiben'ny fanoratana ao amin'ny sampan-draharaham-baovao Asia Plus ao Tajikistan, no nanamarika fa tafatsoaka tamim-pahagagàna tamin'ny “mpahazo ny mpitsikilo” nihatra tamin'i Alexander Sodiqov izy.
32It was just by chance that the journalist did not attend that dinner at the British Embassy in Dushanbe, and, what is more, he subsequently met John Heathershaw.Tena vintana no tsy nanatrehan'ilay mpanoratra gazety ilay fiaraha-misakafo tao amin'ny Masoivoho Britanika tao Dushanbe, ary, efa betsaka izany, mety ho tafahaona tamin'i John Heathershaw izy.
33So Babakhanov makes the following ironic comment:Hany ka nanao izao fanehoan-kevitra maneso manaraka izao i Babakhanov:
34Ever since this saga began, I have been asking myself questions to which I do not have answers: if I had gone to dinner at the ambassador's residence on that day, would I too have been considered a spy or a spy's accomplice?Hatramin'ny nanombohan'ity raharaha ity, efa nanontany ny tenako amin'ireo fanontaniana tsy ananako valiny aho: raha nisakafo tany an-tranon'ny ambasadaoro ve aho tamin'io andro io, dia azo heverina ho mpitsikilo na mpiray tsikombakomba amin'ny mpitsikilo?
35Are other Tajik academics that also attended this “secret meeting” that evening also considered spies?Azo heverina ho mpitsikilo ihany koa ve ireo Tajik mpampianatra oniversite nanatrika ity “fihaonana miafina” tamin'ity takariva ity?
36If the member of the Social Democratic Party of Tajikistan, Alim Sherzamonov, who was meeting with Sodiqov [at the time of his arrest], is a carrier of “information of an intelligence nature”, am I also a carrier of such information?Raha mpitondra “fampahafantarana amin'ny endrika fitsikilovana” ilay mpikambana ao amin'ny Antoko Sosialy Demokratika, Alim Sherzamonov, izay nihaona tamin'i Sodiqov [tamin'ny fotoana nisamborana azy], dia mpitondra izany fampahafantarana izany ihany koa ve aho?
37If so, did I inadvertently, during our meeting with the British academic, give away state secrets?Raha izany, nanao izany tsinahy ve aho, nandritra ny fihaonanay tamin'ilay Britanika mpampianatry ny oniversite, nanome ho any an-kafa ny tsiambaratelom-panjakana?
38As for me, I am also deeply concerned about my chances of becoming a spy.Tahaka izany koa aho, manana fanahiana lalina ihany koa aho amin'ny herijika mety hahatonga ahy ho mpitsikilo.
39I regularly wrote articles for Western political science foundations, delivered lectures at various U.S. Soviet studies and human rights centers and even worked (fortunately, not for long!) for Radio Svoboda, famously funded by the CIA [Editor's Note: Radio Svoboda is funded by the U.S. federal agency Broadcasting Board of Governors].Tsy nitsahatra namoaka lahatsoratra ho an'ireo fikambanana manampy ny sehatry ny siansa politika Tandrefana aho, mampianatra any amin'ireo fianarana isan-karazany any Etazonia, Sovietika ary foiben'ny zon'olombelona aho ary nisy aza fotoana niasako (soa ihany fa tsy nandritra ny fotoana lava) tao amin'ny Radio Svoboda, izay nalaza ho tohanan'ny CIA [Naotin'ny tonia: ny Radio Svoboda dia notohanan'ny sampan-draharaha federalin'i Etazonia ao amin'ny Broadcasting Board of Governors].
40Moreover, I admit to having been in contact with foreign diplomats.Ankoatra izany, dia manaiky aho fa efa nifandray tamin'ireo diplaomaty vahiny.
41Not only did I attend receptions at many embassies, but also advised Japanese and Polish diplomats when geologists from Japan were seized in Tajikistan and when Polish journalists were taken hostage in Chechnya, respectively.Tsy vitan'ny hoe nanatrika ireo fiarahana manala hetaheta maro tany amin'ny masoivoho aho, fa efa nanolo-kevitra ireo diplaomaty Japoney sy Poloney ihany koa aho raha noraofina tao Tajikistan ireo Zeology avy any Japan ary natao takalon'aina tany Chechnya ny mpanoratra gazety Poloney.
42So, following the logic of the Tajik authorities, I am obviously a super spy.Noho izany, raha arahina ny tohin-kevitry ny manampahefana Tajik, dia miharihary fa mpitsikilo henjana aho.
43I believe there are other Russian journalists that can say the same thing about themselves.Mino aho fa misy ny Rosiana mpanoratra gazety afa-milaza zavatra mitovy momba azy ireo.
44Most interestingly, those foreigners who would like to obtain information from journalists might indeed turn out to be secret foreign intelligence officers.Ny mahaliana kokoa, ireo vahiny izay te-hahazo fampahafantarana avy amin'ny mpanoratra gazety dia mety ho manamboninahitra avy amin'ny sampam-pitsikilovana vahiny.
45However, I had no worries before the Tajik precedent because unless you divulge sensitive information, you don't do anything blameworthy.Na izany aza, tsy nanan-tahotra aho mandra-pisian'ity raharaha Tajik ity satria afa-tsy hoe namoaka fampahafantarana saropady ianao dia tsy misy zavatra mety hanasaziana anao.
46But, as this Tajik story tells us, everything can change in a moment.Saingy, araka ny lazain'ity tantara Tajik ity amintsika, dia mety hiova ao anatin'ny fotoana fohy ny zava-drehetra.
47New realities mean that in order to be completely protected against espionage accusations, it is better to eliminate any possibility of contact with foreigners.Ny zavamisy vaovao dia midika fa mba tsy hanamelohana anao ho manao asam-pitsikilovana,dia tsara kokoa ny mamafa izay rehetra mety hampisy fifandraisana amin'ny vahiny.
48We have already been there, during Stalin's time.Efa teto isika tamin'ny andron'i Stalin.
