Continued dialogue with the dictator
To President of the Czech Republic Milos Zeman.
Dear Mr. President,
It is 25 years since Islam Karimov has been continuously ruling Uzbekistan, having turned one of the most promising countries of Central Asia into a police state, which allows the government keeping people in fear and obedience, where there are no independent civil society organizations and freedom of speech, and where human rights are permanently violated.
The number of political prisoners per capita is highest in the post-Soviet space. Tortures and ill- treatment of prisoners regularly occur and remain unpunished.
