Kholbeka Juraeva: I do not believe that my husband will be amnestied

Relatives of Murod Juraev, former MP of Uzbekistan, one of the political prisoners serving the longest sentence in Uzbek prisons, have lost hope that he may be released by amnesty, the closest of which will be announced on the occasion of the Constitution Day of Uzbekistan.

Murod Juraev’s wife, Kholbeka Juraeva, who met with her husband beginning of this month in Chirchik city prison, says to “Jarayon” that day by day she is losing her hope for his early release.

– I’m not looking forward to it (amnesty of Murod Juraev – “Jarayon”). Last year they said “on December 8 anyone who is over 60 would be released.” Many neighbors said to me: “See, they have announced an amnesty to those, who are 60 years old and older. Murod aka is also 60 years old. If God wills, he will be here soon.” However, the fact that he was 60 years old did not help him at all, – says Kholbeka Juraeva .
