Mutabar Tadjibayeva: I believe that there will be a day, when Uzbekistan becomes a country free of torture

For 20 years, Uzbek women, along with men, have been struggling against the authoritarian dictatorship of Islam Karimov, long-serving president of Uzbekistan.

These women are politicians, journalists, human rights activists, and ordinary women, who care about their nation.

As a result of their active citizenship, many of them were thrown into prisons, colonies and basements of detention facilities, and interrogated under torture, abused and humiliated by the regime. However, due to corruption system in Uzbekistan, these perpetrators are not punished.
