Rights activist Nabijon Jurabaev released from prison

75 -year-old rights activist Nabijon (Turaboy) Jurabaev, who was held in the colony number 64/34 (in Navoi city) under the Department of Corrections at the Interior Ministry of Uzbekistan, was released on December 29, 2013.

In an interview to “Jarayon”, Jurabaev said that he was released under an amnesty announced on the occasion of 22 anniversary of the Constitution of Uzbekistan.

“I am in good mood, everything is fine with my health. It turned out that I was the eldest prisoner in the colony. Both prison staff and inmates asked me with astonishment: “Father, why were you imprisoned?” It looks like I was destined to see those places too,” – said Nabijon Jurabaev in a phone conversation with “Jarayon”.
