Three of his brothers-in-law left their wives, leaving 10 children without support. Gadoev’s sisters and their children found themselves in a difficult situation due to pressure from the authorities, which resulted in the divorces. Oishamo Abdulloeva, Sharofiddin’s mother, stated that after increased pressure, the sons-in-law disappeared, and her daughters and 10 grandchildren were left without support. The family, which previously earned a living through trade, faced heavy fines and bankruptcy due to tax inspections. Now they all live with her, and life has become even harder.

Relatives of the late Mirzoali Gadoev reported that he had been under pressure from Tajik authorities for several years due to his son’s political activism. In one of his video messages, the father urged his son to cease opposition activities and return to normal life in Tajikistan. The pressure on his family, including Mirzoali’s beating in a police station, worsened his health, ultimately leading to his death.

A notable instance occurred on March 8, 2017, when border guards at Kulob airport removed Hafizamo Gadoeva, the sister of exiled opposition figure Sharofiddin Gadoev, from a flight bound for Moscow. Authorities informed her that both she and her children were prohibited from leaving the country due to her brother’s opposition activities.
