Shukurjon Abdurahmanova: If you don’t want to hurt Solijon, never mention his name anywhere
On October 3, 2013, due to his ill health, journalist Solijon Abdurakhmanov was transferred from Karshi prison #64/51 to “Sangorod” (medical facility for prisoners) in Tashkent.
On Thursday, October 17, Solijon Abdurahmanov’s relatives went to the prison hospital UYa 64/18 (colloquially called “Sangorod”) to meet with him and pass him parcel. However, the prison administration informed the relatives that Solijon Abdurahmanov had been placed in solitary confinement for 15 days and would stay there until November 1.
Shukurjon Abdurahmanova, Solijonov Abdurahmanov’s wife, told about this on October 17 to the head of the International Human Rights Association “Fiery Hearts Club”, Mutabar Tadjibayeva.
