In August 2013, the Deputy Prime Minister of Tajikistan approved a government Action Plan for implementation of the recommendations issued by the Committee against Torture after its review of Tajikistan in November 2012. Amnesty International and the Coalition against Torture of Tajikistan, a coalition uniting 14 NGOs across Tajikistan, regret that Tajikistani civil society organizations were not involved in drawing up the Action Plan and that the comments and recommendations the Coalition against Torture sent to the authorities were not reflected in the final document.
