The independent inquiry commissioned by Amnesty into the death of Gaëtan Mootoo concluded that multiple failings to support the employee of three decades amounted to “a serious failure of management”.

Paris, August 30, 2018: On this year’s International Day of Victims of Enforced Disappearances, FIDH and its member organization, the “Fiery Hearts Club,” as well as the Coordination Board of the civil society group “Uzbekistan Alternative,” call on the international community to demand that the Uzbek authorities conduct comprehensive, objective, and transparent investigations into the cases of enforced disappearances in the country.
As the President of Uzbekistan’s visit to France approaches – it will be Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s first visit to an EU country since he came to power two years ago – our organizations are calling on French officials to give due attention to the issue of forced disappearances during their discussions with Uzbekistan.

Appeal to Ms. Federica Mogerini, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the European Union with a request to support the company against corruption and terrorism
Dear Mrs. Minister!
With this statement, we announce the establishment of the International Human Rights Foundation “Mutabar Tadjibayeva” to combat organized crime against humanity (hereinafter referred to as IHRF “Mutabar Tadjibayeva”).
It was very important for us to announce the creation of the IHRF “Mutabar Tadjibayeva”, on November 25, as this day is connected with a significant event, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) (Resolution 54/134).
The founders of the IHRF “Mutabar Tadjibayeva” are women-activists of civil society, human rights activists, lawyers, journalists and representatives of other public organizations that were victims of political repression, torture and later became victims of organized criminal groups (OCG), which are guarded and sponsored by representatives of some International Human Rights Organizations and Funds with famous names and journalists of some International media.
The international community must force the government of Uzbekistan to respect the human rights laws
The International Human Rights Organization “Fiery Hearts Club”, Coordination Council of the Civil Society “Alternative Uzbekistan”, Public Council “Service of the Fatherland” call the government of Uzbekistan and the international organizations to pay attention to the current human rights situation in Uzbekistan.
The news of Islam Karimov’s illness was widely discussed in Uzbekistan as well as abroad. For some time the government did not provide any information regarding the president’s health, which, in turn, provoked growing tension in the country.
Karimov had remained in power for 27 years. Young people who were born and raised during his rule comprise the majority of the 32-million population. Many of these young people cannot imagine their life without Karimov and are therefore panicking.
Mutabar Tadjibayeva: Dear 39th Congress Participants! We need your help and support!
Dear 39th Congress Participants! Let me congratulate you with the occasion of this Congress and with success to your work.
I am Mutabar Tadjibayeva, an independent journalist and human rights defender from Uzbekistan, founder and leader of “Fiery Hearts” International Human Rights Association which has been an FIDH member since 2013, living in France as a regugee since 2009.
I wished I attended this Congress to outloudly speak out about human rights problems in Uzbekistan, raise the internatonal attention to a particularly diverse condition of the Uzbek political prisoners, and crisis of human rights NGOs in this country.
Don’t hesitate to help us to meet the political prisoners!
APPEAL
