Despite pleas from international organizations, the Tajikistan government has begun work on demolishing the country's last remaining synagogue. Located in the capital Dushanbe, the building is more than 100 years old and serves a few hundred Jews, more than half of the country's Jewish population.

It is feared that this demolition will effectively put an end to Jewish life in Tajikistan and will strike a severe blow to the cause of Muslim-Jewish mutual respect and coexistence, in the overwhelmingly Muslim Central Asian republic.

We, the undersigned, call on the authorities in Tajikistan, to halt the destruction of this historically and culturally important place of worship, in accordance with existing international standards for the protection of cultural heritage.
