Maksud Muhidinovich Ibragimov (Максуд Ибрагимов) (born 3 November 1977, Dushanbe, Tajikistan) is a Tajikistan-born opposition politician, Chairman of the Russian-registered organization "Youth for the Revival of Tajikistan" and member of the governing board of the opposition coalition New Tajikistan, which includes Group 24.
Up until December 2014, Maksud Ibragimov was a citizen of Russia who renounced his Tajikistan citizenship in 2004. He had been living in Russia for 10 years before establishing the movement "Youth for the Revival of Tajikistan" in October 2014. As part of the New Tajikistan coalition, the movement called for peaceful protests to be held on October 10 in Dushanbe. Reacting to this, Tajikistan announced the movement illegal on October 7 and requested an extradition of Ibragimov from Russia. Complying with the request, Russia's authorities arrested Ibragimov on October 9 but the Russian court denied Tajikistan's request and he was freed on October 11, 2014.
A stream of threats followed this denial of extradition, including threats from Tajik law enforcement services. This was documented in Ibrahimov's statement to the Russian police, which refused to register his complaints. On 26 November 2014, Ibragimov was attacked in Moscow by two persons who left him with 6 knife wounds. His condition was severe but he survived. In December 2014 Ibragimov suddenly discovered that the Russian Federation stripped him of his Russian citizenship.
On 20 January 2015, Ibragimov was arrested by Russian authorities again and immediately extradited to Tajikistan. Ibragimov's Russian lawyer Nikolay Nikolayev said the extradition was illegal and expressed his plans to appeal the case in the European Court of Human Rights.
