Uzbekistan: The number of Muslims subjected to torture is rising
The years of independence in Uzbekistan have seen many cases of illegal arrests, beatings, torture, and unfair trials, and the victims were not only the critics and opponents of the regime of president Islam Karimov, but also thousands of innocent Muslim believers.
Many Uzbek Muslims, including women, were sentenced to many years in prison for so-called membership in the banned religious organizations in the country. Although, many local and international organizations declare the innocence of these people, and that the charges against them were fabricated by the Uzbek authorities.
