Liberada: Gulbahor Turayeva, defensora de los derechos humanos uzbeca, deja la prisiónposted on: 2007/06/14

Front Line se complace en la liberación de Gulbahor Turayeva, defensora de los derechos humanos uzbeka. El 12 de junio del 2007, la Corte de Apelaciones Regional de Andiján decidió reducir la sentencia dictaminada de seis años a una nueva sentencia de tres años de prisión, en suspenso.

El 25 de abril del 2007, la Corte de la Región de Andiján sentenció a Gulbahor Turayeva a seis años de prisión por los cargos de difamación, producción y distribución de literatura que amenaza el orden público. Ella estuvo retenida en un centro de detención desde su arresto, el 14 de enero del 2007, en el puesto de control de Dustlik en la frontera de Kirguiz y Uzbekistán. Aparentemente, la aduana uzbeka encontró en su equipaje libros, entre ellos material sobre derechos humanos y otros de autoría del líder del partido de oposición de Uzbekistán, Erk.

Front Line se complace en la liberación de Gulbahor Turayeva, pero desea manifestar su preocupación dado que aunque su sentencia ha sido suspendida y fue liberada, su libertad es condicional y la condena contra ella sigue en pie.

Campaign For Human Rights Defenders in Uzbekistanposted on: 2006/12/10

The Uzbek government has a long-standing abysmal human rights record. In Uzbekistan, there are wide scale violations of virtually all basic human rights including; freedoms of religion, freedom of speech, free association and assembly. There is no independent judiciary, and torture is widespread in both pre-trial and post conviction facilities. In 2003, the U.N Special Rapporteur on Torture characterized torture as “systemic” in Uzbekistan. The government routinely controls, intimidates, arbitrarily suspends and interferes with the work of human rights defenders, the media and opposition political parties.

The War on Terror

In the context of 'the war on terror' the Karimov government has placed security at the top of its agenda and abused concerns over security to undermine respect for human rights. The government increasingly uses the threat of terrorism as a justification for the suppression of dissent such as political opposition and human rights reporting within the country.
