Uzbek President Karimov’s daughter sues French website

Libel proceedings brought against a French website by the daughter of Uzbek President Islam Karimov have begun in Paris.

Lola Karimova-Tillyaeva is suing the Rue89 online journal for describing her as «the daughter of a dictator».

She believes a number of comments in an article written by Augustin Scalbert last May are libellous.
