Bekhzod Turgunov: Authorities still do not answer to my father’s complaints
Tashkent-based human rights activist Agzam Turgunov, who has been kept in detention for the past five years, woes that he cannot get an answer to his written complaints.
Recently, on October 30, in a telephone conversation with “Jarayon”, Bekhzod Turgunov, son of the rights defender Agzam Turgunov, told that the prison administration allowed his father to meet with relatives.
– On September 24-25, my older brother Murod went to the colony in Karshi to meet with our father. He was given a day long date. The health condition of our father is still very poor. He complained of severe pain in the legs. But despite this, he did not say much about his health. Basically, dad asked my brother to inform journalists that all the written appeal to the Supreme Court, the Prosecutor General, the Ombudsman, the Oliy Majlis, and the Ministry of Justice remain unanswered. My father is in prison for five years, but he still could not get a response from the higher authorities for his written complaints, – says Bekhzod Turgunov.
