Uznews.net – Lawyers of Jizak-based farmer and human rights activist Oyazimhon Hidirova have appealed against the Arnasay District court’s ruling in line with which Hidirova is being held in custody while an investigation into her case is under way.
The appeal, submitted today, will be heard tomorrow but it is not clear whether she would be able to attend it because while in custody her condition has deteriorated.
At the trial on 31 July she fainted and was taken to the detention centre’s medical unit and she is still there in serious condition.
Local activists said that Hidirova was detained on 28 July on charges of fraud, tax evasion and hooliganism.
The Arnasay District court ordered that she would be kept in custody while an investigation into her case was under way.
They said that she had been detained after she exposed cases of corruption in Jizak Region as a result of which she lost her plot of land.
This prompted her to join a human rights organisation and fight for justice. Now the mother of two is facing an unjust trial and a long sentence, local sympathisers said.
