The lawyers, Abdukayum Yusufov and Jamilya Kamilova, say Mirzoev is being denied meetings with his defense team and that prison authorities have reduced the number of packages he can receive from his family.
Mirzoev, who is also a former head of Tajikistan's drugs control agency, was sentenced to life in prison in August for planning a coup, murder, and other crimes. He denies the charges.
