Mutabar Tadjibayeva: Gulnara Karimova must answer for slander
“Slander is a more cruel weapon than a sword, as the wounds which the former gives are always incurable,” once said Henry Fielding, a great English philosopher and novelist. How much psychological and physical suffering can slander give a person? And what if a certain slander has been published in a newspaper, which has thousands of readers?
Asli Baris, a journalist from high-circulation Turkish newspaper Hürriyet, known for her fashion stories, wrote in the story titled “My Life like The Magnificent Century”, “First Daughter of Uzbekistan Gulnara Karimova strikes back at recent claims” that during negotiations with the Uzbek president’s daughter, she got a letter into her email account from a secret encrypted and email, in which Gulnara Karimova wrote to her: “I’ll give you an interview, but you will write only what I say … And you should publish this interview without a delay as even we do not know what will happen soon.”
