Health of the right defender has sharply worsened or “order-somsa” is carried out successfully

There would be a person, and article will be+

As it is known 17th juily 2009 in Office of Public Prosecutor of Junus-Abad area, (where right defender Muhtarov Farhodhon for giving the claim on employees of Regional Management of Internal Affairs and also on declarant Sadykbekova Shaira has come) on the initiative of Office of Public Prosecutor has been illegally arrested by employees of criminal investigation department of Junus-Abad RMIA. hrd-farhodhon-muhtarov1
The applicant-1
The statement of Sadykbekova Shaira is unfounded as in case is absent receipts and witnesses. The given statement should be considered in a civil order, and the Office of Public Prosecutor of Junus-Abad area should was agrees the law to inform her and to advise to address to civil court, however Office of Public Prosecutor has brought an action, without having on it crime structure. After acquaintance with the claim of Sadykbekova Shaira, Nazarov’s lawyer has declared: – “the Statement is made very competently, Sadykbekova could not write it without help of law-enforcement structures”.
The applicant-2
The statement of Karimova Masuda should be considered, also in a civil order, but by “council” has written the claim on Muhtarov Farhodhon about what she very much regrets. On a question of wife of Muhtarov Farhodhon, who these people? Karimova Masuda has answered: – “cannot name these people and I can not take away the given claim, I regret that have listened to them”.
The applicant-3
Applicant Eshanov Anvar, also should address to civil court but as for a reference to the court he should pay the state duty at a rate of 2 million sum (approximately 1300 US dollars) in favor of the state. But what for Eshanov Anvar should pay the state duty when he can with help of his “acquaintances” working in Regional Management of Internal Affairs of Sabir-Rahimov area to solve all problems, what he has tried to make on June, 8th, 2009 when psychological pressure was puting upon Muhtarov F. for 7 hours. After intervention of right defenders he was released, and it was offered to Eshanov Anvar to address to civil court. But communications in Junus-Abad RMIA have appeared more “more better” where have accepted the claim, “having spat” on legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Eshanov Anvar already regrets for the act, and would like to continue the bargain. But the car is started it simply will not stop.
Now there is a psychological pressure upon family of Muhtarov Farhodhon. Unknown people are coming to neighbors and ask strange questions: – whether “Believing Muhtarov Farhodhon onto God, whether goes he to a mosque, whether reads a Mohammedan prayer etc., etc.”. Interestingly for what purposes this information is necessary??? We can assume, here is a processing of neighbors, for a fabrication of new criminal case in extremism???
At present health of right defender Muhtarov Farhodhon has sharply worsened, probably, to him tortures are applied. In his letter Muhtarov Farhodhon asked anaesthetizing medicines, also in the letter the right defender asks to refuse the lawyer and to employ other lawyer (the European nationality) . For one and a half month for Muhtarov Farhodhon 4th lawyer will be already employed. On the given case lawyers begin work well, but after a meeting with the inspector, lawyers start to stay idle. On legal consultations to Muhtarovs wife all lawyers set two questions: – “your husband to whom has passed road? Or what is his occupation?” . This case does not concern a criminal offence it is someone’s order +
From August, 18th, till September, 5th, 2009 right defender Muhtarov Farhodhon is in full isolation because of nearest holidays in Uzbekistan.
On September, 7th Muhtarov Farhodhon will be 41 year old an he will celebrate it in preason.

Right defenders protect the rights of citizens and who will protect the rights of right defenders which remains very little in Uzbekistan and the majority are in prison.

To be continued+
Right defenders – Dovlatova Tatyana, Brosalina Lyudmila and Sarapulov Oleg.
On August, 25th, 2009,
Uzbekistan, Tashkent.

Before she was allowed to see her father, she had had to wait for eight days in prison rooms, which are unsuitable for living, full of lice and bugs and has no basic facilities but which are still used by the administration to host relatives of inmates. Continue reading »

One Of The ‘World’s Worst Daughters’

August 07, 2009
After running last week a list of the worst-behaved sons of world leaders, “Foreign Policy” magazine this week looks at the daughters.

Leading the way is Uzbek president’s daughter Gulnara Karimova, who was also appointed as the country’s ambassador to the UN in Geneva:

[B]ack home, Karimova is likely being groomed as successor to her brutal dictator father and has used his influence to amass her own formidable financial holdings.

The consequences of crossing Karimova became clear in 2001 when she divorced her husband, an Afghan-American businessman with extensive holdings in Uzbekistan, and took their children out of the United States in violation of a court order. The unfortunate ex-husband’s Coca-Cola bottling factory in Uzbekistan was promptly shut down, three of his relatives were imprisoned, and 24 were deported at gunpoint to Afghanistan. In 2006, Karimova, whose business interests include most of Uzbekistan’s tea industry, reportedly sent hooded men with machine guns to shut down a rival company and liquidate their holdings.

She also has a burgeoning music career.

The statement of Human rights Society of Uzbekistan
About compulsory and child labour in Uzbekistan


The August, 5th, 2009

Since 2004, Uzbek and international human rights organizations have constantly brought up the question on the use of child and forced labour in the cultivation of a cotton and by the authorities of Uzbekistan. The authorities have not recognized or have denied compulsory attraction of schoolboys, 12-16 aged, to agricultural works. With the boycott beginning on the purchase of the Uzbek cotton by a number of known foreign firms, such as Tesco, Walmart, Target, Levi Strauss, Gap, Limited Brands and Marks and Spencer and H&M the authorities of Uzbekistan in first half of 2008 were forced to ratify two documents of the United Nations on child labour, namely the Convention of the International Labour Organization No.138 “About the minimum age for employment” and the United Nations No.182 “About prohibition and immediate measures on eradication of the worst forms of child labour”.
