Rights activist arrested

SOURCE: Human Rights Watch

Activitist defended farmers from corrupt land grabs

(Human Rights Watch/IFEX) – New York, August 18, 2009 – Uzbek authorities
should immediately drop any unsubstantiated criminal charges against
Oyazimhon Hidirova, chairman of the Arnasai Branch of the International
Human Rights Society of Uzbekistan, and free her from pre-trial detention,
Human Rights Watch said today.oyazimhon-hidirova0208092

Hidirova was arrested on July 28, 2009 at the Arnasai District Department
of Internal Affairs on preliminary charges of hooliganism (two counts),
fraud, and tax evasion. Human Rights Watch is concerned that Hidirova’s
arrest and prosecution may be in retaliation for her efforts to expose
corruption by agricultural officials in Arnasai, a district in the Jizzakh
region of Uzbekistan. Since 2004 she has been a member of the International
Human Rights Organization, one of the few human rights groups that have
been permitted to register in Uzbekistan. Continue reading »

URGENT APPEAL – THE OBSERVATORY

Arbitrary detention / Harassment

Uzbekistan

August 10, 2009

The Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, a joint programme of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT), requests your urgent intervention in the following situation in Uzbekistan.

Description of the situation:

The Observatory has been informed by reliable sources about the arbitrary detention of Mr. Farhodon Mukhtarov, an active and long-standing member of the Human Rights Alliance of Uzbekistan.

According to the information received, on July 18, 2009, Mr. Farhodon Mukhtarov was arrested at the District Prosecutor’s office as he was in the premises to submit a statement and a complaint against illegal actions carried out by police officers and investigator Boymatov. The Prosecutor decided indeed to report his visit to the police station, which came to arrest him directly at the Prosecutor’s office. Mr. Mukhtarov was then brought to the Yunus-Abad police station.

As of issuing this urgent appeal, Mr. Mukhtarov remained detained but no information could be obtained as to his place of detention nor as to the charges that would be held against him[1].

At the end of May 2009, Mr. Mukhtarov had already been briefly detained after a complaint had been reportedly filed against him by another Uzbek citizen, apparently for fraud, under Article 168, Part 2, paragraph A of the Uzbek Criminal Code. However, the authorities had refused to let him view the complaint.

The Observatory expresses its utmost concern about Mr. Farhodon Mukhtarov’s arbitrary detention, and believes that these acts of harassment actually aim at sanctioning Mr. Mukhtarov’s human rights activities. The latter had already been arrested in 2006 and later released following the mobilisation of the Human Rights Alliance and diplomats, and that his flat had been tentatively arsoned at the end of 2008 Continue reading »
