The appeal provides in detail facts of tortures and violence against prisoners executed by the prison administration. Systematic tortures resulting in fatalities, numerous cases of cruel and inhuman treatments urged the prisoner of the strict regime colony to appeal to the authorities of Uzbekistan.
