To Mr.Guy Ryder, Director-General of the International Labour Organization

ILO denies systematic use of forced child labor in the cotton harvest in Uzbekistan: a diplomatic ploy to gain concessions from the government or an attempt to deny the commonly known problem?

International Labour Organization (ILO) voiced its opinion in early April 2014 on the monitoring results on child labor in cotton harvest in Uzbekistan “… the ILO did not reveal use of forced child labor on a systematic basis in the cotton harvest in the country.” This conclusion was announced during a special seminar with a high “international” status organized by the Uzbek authorities in Tashkent for this purpose.

Lawlessness of Islam Karimov: crime without limitation period

To Mass media, NGOs and leaders of youth movements of the Kingdom of Sweden.

Dear Colleagues,

Massive pressure of international non-governmental organizations and human rights leaders, covering problems of the Republic of Uzbekistan, has become one of the main reasons for the cancellation of the visit of President Islam Karimov to Prague scheduled for February 21-23.

Not wanting to discredit his Cabinet, the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic as well as a number of key ministers, including the Mayor of Prague, refused to meet with the leader of a totalitarian country Islam Karimov under plausible pretexts.
