Tajikistan Elections Reportedly Marred by Fraud
Peter Eicher, the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe's (OSCE) mission chief, today commented on parliamentary elections held in Tajikistan over the weekend. He told a news conference: "I regret to say that the overall process was a disappointment. We witnessed direct falsification. The extent of these irregularities does raise doubts about the integrity of the tabulation process."
According to The Guardian of London, Mr. Eicher had "130 observers watching the poll in the former Soviet republic."
