Oyazimhon Hidirova, accusing the woman under…

Uznews.net – The police department of Jizzakh Region’s Arnasay District has ended the investigation into the case of a farmer and human rights activist, Oyazimhon Hidirova, accusing the woman under 13 articles of the Criminal Code.

On 22 August, investigators from Jizzakh Region’s Arnasay interior department accomplished the investigation into the case of Jizzakh-based rights activist Oyazimhon Hidirova, with shocking results for her lawyer and relatives. You recall that Hidirova was detained late in July.

She was charged under the Criminal Code’s 13 articles, including 168 (Fraud), 184 (The Evasion of Taxes and Other Payments), parts two and three of article 277 (Hooliganism), 288 (Forgery), 166 (Robbery), 167 (Theft through Misappropriation and Embezzlement) and others.

Immediately following the investigation on 22 August, Hidirova was transported under guard to the neighbouring Syrdarya Region, where she was placed in Havas District’s detention centre.

Relatives of Hidirova said that before her move to the new detention centre she had asked investigators to allow her meeting with her two little children but the police officers even turned down her simple and modest request.

On Sunday, 23 August, Hidirova’s husband went to Havas District to pass clean clothes to her but guards and bosses at the detention centre did not allow him to visit the detainee, saying that visiting detainees and prisoners are banned until the Independence Day, which is marked on 1 September, throughout the country.

Hidirova was arrested on 28 July. Her lawyers believe that she was detained for fighting against local corrupt officials, who humiliate powerless farmers.

She wrote a letter to President Islam Karimov about Jizzakh Region’s problems in the agricultural sector. This letter predetermined her fate.

Her lawyers said that the Arnasay District interior department conducted the investigation with grave violations. Investigators constantly insulted and humiliated the woman. They told her that her life cost nothing and they could do anything they wanted to her.

Accusations against Hidirova were forged with even more openness, one of her lawyers said. She was introduced to strange people, who sometimes charged her with forgery, sometimes with misappropriation of their profit.
