Uzbek human rights defender Mutabar Tadjibayeva wins UN ruling
In a landmark case, the UN Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) has ruled in favour of human rights defender Ms Mutabar Tadjibayeva, who was arrested, tortured, raped and forcedly sterilised by Uzbek authorities.
On 6 October 2015, the Committee – after determining that there was detailed evidence of the abuses she suffered – ruled that Uzbekistan is obligated to conduct an impartial investigation, to begin criminal proceedings against those responsible for the violations, and to offer compensation to Tabjibayeva.
