Early life
Born in 2000, the son of then Lieutenant Suleiman and Mrs Ekaterina Han, his father left the Army later the same year and did a part-time MBA at Warwick Business School whilst also owning his own burger van.
By the time he graduated in 2003 he had four burger vans which he sold and joined the oil and gas industry.
In 2014, by which time his father was a major oil and gas executive, Selim enrolled at the Specialized Naval School, Turkmenistan. By 2017, he was a spy for the Islamic insurgency, backed by the Islamic Caliphate of the Balkans and donated to by his father. In 2018, by which time the insurgency was successful, his father became Emir and he trained as a naval officer the caliphate which his father was a vassal of.
Career
Graduating from the Qadir Naval Academy in 2019, Mirza Selim spent two years active service in the Naval Intelligence Division as an officer (six months specialising in reconnaissance and a year in counter-intelligence).
Then he joined some kind of civil post involving law enforcement.
In the 1st of January 2022, he enrolled at Northumbria University studying Psychology with Criminology but left later that month (to re-join the Navy) after the Islamic Caliphate of the Balkans claimed Denmark.
When the Turkmen Emirate declared independence for the second time, he defected to the Islamic Turkmen Navy along with the unit he was a Lieutenant in and 49.99% of the rest of the Islamic Balkan Navy.
After taking Favrskov, his brother was appointed it’s governor and he was appointed it’s Commissioner of Police.
He is currently taking a distance learning degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Portsmouth.
As Commissioner he ordered all house burglaries to be investigated (leading to the imprisonment of six burglars and a reduction in house burglary of 50%), uncovered a ring of five human traffickers (rescuing 20 victims) and caught a loan shark. He then ordered an undercover operation into drug smuggling into the border.
Following a number of police officers being killed and four shootings of innocent civilians, instituted a two-year probationary period for all police Constables (including six months in a Constabulary Training School and 18 months supervised by a Sergeant on the street) after introducing the rank Sergeant as a rank composed of enlisted police officers from the Turkmen Emirate who had served since 2018 without misconduct. He also introduced a Professional Standards Unit separate from both the Police Commission and the Constabulary.
He also introduced measures to stop car thefts using evidence-based target-hardening methods.
From the 4th to the 10th of February, car theft showed a 8.45% decline, something experts attribute to these measures.
At 9 PM, On the 10th of February, he was appointed Vizier Of National Security, on the 19th of February, following his party’s victory in the 2022 election, he was appointed Grand Vizier, on the 8th of March, his father appointed him Emir. Views
He criticised slavery and was involved in restricting and later ending the practice.
He is seen as leading the largest faction in the Turkmen court and government, a right-wing, pan-Islamist and pro-military faction.
His views on law enforcement seem to favour right realist approaches, principally target-hardening and temporary crackdowns, however. He also paid for high school level classes and trade schools in the prisons he ran.
Controversy
Controversies including briefly only offering to hire women as Royal au pairs (Alleged to be a form of discrimination) and his defection from the service of the Islamic Caliphate of the Balkans.
Other issues include that commercial burglaries increased by 55.2% during his term as police commissioner.
Despite winning praise for halving residential burglaries and busting a human trafficking organisation, his career as Police Commissioner was fraught with controversy over increased over an alleged increase in human trafficking, a 400% increase in murders and a 549.8% increase in assaults on police officers.
He responded that human trafficking was actually going down, the higher rates of recorded trafficking being because more human traffickers got caught and that the increased murders (the largest group of victims being police officers, closely followed by suspects) and assaults against police officers were due to the armed conflict and to riots.
Personal life
He has three wives, Meryem (a 20 year-old Quran teacher) and Alicia Han (18 year old History student), and Isabelle Saray. He has two children
(a son and a daughter).
He was married to Aisha Han (an 18-year old medical student) until her death in a duck shooting accident on the 13th of March.
