Our website reported in late October that the Uzbek court agreed to allow Russian lawyer Illarion Vasiliyev to access Mirsobir Khamidkariev’s case. In early November, the journalists of our website received a letter from lawyer Vasiliyev in which he reported about his arrival in Tashkent to attend Mirsobir Khamidkariev’s case.

“I saw Mirsobir, the judge allowed us to communicated in the courtroom. The judge’s attitude to Mirsobir is positive. The process, according to his lawyer, proceeds softly. It is not a high-profile case here. The charge against him is based on article 216 (organizing illegal public associations and religious organizations) and articles 244-2 (creation, management and participation in religious extremist, separatist, fundamentalist or other banned organizations) of the Uzbek Criminal Code. The crime according to article 244-2 is a serious one, it should be removed. Nobody, including his relatives, is aware of things Mirsobir told me about in the courtroom,” said lawyer Illarion Vasiliyev.

28.11.2014   CIVIL SOCIETY ACTIVISTS, Human Rights, JARAYON, Political Detainees, Uzbekistan   No comments

In late November 2014, Mutabar Tadjibayeva, the head of “Fiery Hearts Club”International Human Rights Organization based in France, released her list of 43 political prisoners of Uzbekistan.

According to the human rights activist, they were sentenced to long years in prison for political and religious reasons.

“We support US senators, who recently stood up for defense and release of five Uzbek political prisoners. However, we decided once again to publish a list of the people, who have been kept in prisons of Uzbekistanfor more than 21 years. This list includes new names of political prisoners. Each of them deserves to be considered a political prisoner. I believe it is necessary to mention their names during talks of Western politicians with the Uzbek authorities about the fates of the political prisoners,” Tadjibayeva told “Jarayon”.

Introduction

“Fiery Hearts Club” was founded by Mrs. Mutabar Tadjibayeva – a prominent human rights activist and independent journalist – in Uzbekistan. Currently the organization is based in and registered as an international human rights association in France. Mrs. Tadjibayeva herself was a victim of torture and other ill-treatment during her imprisonment under a trumped-up criminal case in Uzbekistan, which was brought against her after she was arrested in October 2005.

On May 15, 2008, when she was still in prison, Mutabar Tadjibayeva was awarded with the Martin Ennals Award. Shortly after this she was released. For the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 2008, the “Fiery Hearts Club” was awarded with the French Republic’s “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” Prize. Earlier this year Mrs. Tadjibayeva was included by Reporters Without Borders on a list of the 100 information heroes of the world.

The International Human Rights Association “Fiery Hearts Club” works on the protection and promotion of core civil and political rights and freedoms through monitoring, documentation and reporting; provision of legal aid; and awareness-raising and advocacy. The organization focuses in particular on freedom from torture or other ill-treatment and the right to a fair trial and is recognized as one of the leading human rights NGOs addressing problems in these areas in Central Asia, particularly in Uzbekistan.
