Uzbekistan: Torture, Unfair Trials in Wake of Attacks
Government Broadly Targets Dissident Muslims in Response to
March-April Violence

(Tashkent, September 10, 2004) — The Uzbek government has
resorted to torture, incommunicado detention and unfair
trials in its response to violent attacks in the country in
March and April, Human Rights Watch said in letters to the
Uzbek president. In particular, the authorities have
targeted Muslims who practice their faith outside
state-controlled religious institutions.

Human Rights Watch documented the recent wave of repression
in two letters to Uzbek President Islam Karimov that were
made public today. The Uzbek government has yet to reply to
the concerns raised in the letters, which were sent on
August 18, 2004.

“The fight against terrorism doesn’t give the government
free reign to violate human rights,” said Rachel Denber,
acting executive director of Human Rights Watch’s Europe and
Central Asia Division. “The state can’t simply dispense with
core human rights even if it has legitimate security concerns.”

The first letter documents new cases of arbitrary detention,
harassment and ill-treatment of Muslim dissidents. A wave of
arrests followed explosions directed against police officers
in Tashkent and Bukhara in late March and early April. While
the government blamed the attacks on “extremists,” its
response has broadly targeted “independent Muslims,” who
practice their faith outside government-controlled mosques
and other religious institutions. The letter also sets out
concrete recommendations for tackling government abuses.

We leven in een betere wereld volgens Bush, die al
mishandelend en moordend de democratie ging brengen .....

In eigen land is de democratie er al niet veel beter aan
toe. Volgens Balkende moeten we het eens hebben over waarden
en normen ....
