Statement on the occasion of International day of torture victims – June 26
On the occasion of the International Day of Torture Victims International Human Rights Association “Fiery Hearts Club” condemns a continuing wide practice of torture in Uzbekistan.
If in 2002 United Nations Special Rapporteur Mr. Theo van Boven, having visited Uzbekistan, characterized the practice of torture in the criminal justice system of this country as systemic, today in 12 years since then torture is still endemic and widespread.
Torture and similar forms of inhuman, cruel and degrading treatment and punishment in Uzbekistan takes place mainly in the criminal justice system. The systemic character of torture and similar ill-treatment has been established by international experts many times.
