Usbekistan
Den norske Helsingforskomiteen har overvåket og rapportert om situasjonen i Usbekistan siden 1998. Landet stryres med svært hard hånd av president Islam Karimov som har vært eneveldig president siden republikken ble opprettet etter Sovjetunionens fall. Ytringsfrihet, organisasjonesfrihet eller opposisjonell virksomhet tåles ikke. Landet har et stort antall politiske fanger, og fanger tortureres systematisk i fengslene, i noen rapporterte tilfeller med fatale følger. I mai 2005 ble mange hundre innbyggere i byen Andijan massakrert da de demonstrerte for bedre levekår, og de ansvarlige har aldri blitt stilt for retten.
OSCE:
The Norwegian Helsinki Committee is actively and well represented at this years' OSCE Human Dimension Implementation Meeting in Warsaw. In our interventions at the meeting we will focus on freedom of religion in Central Asia, rule of law in Azerbaijan, Belarus and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and freedom of expression in Macedonia, Bosnia and Serbia. We are organising a side-event on lack of justice after major human rights violations in Russia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Additionally we organise a side-event on strikers' rights in Kazakhstan and we are also co-organising a side-event with particular focus on Ales Bialiatski and the release of political prisoners in Belarus. Below you will find links to the HDIM webpage, all documents from our side-events and interventions and other relevant links.
Central-Asia:
The NHC is pleased to announce a contest for project proposals aiming at improving the situation regarding human rights, democratization or civil society in Central Asia. All organizations in the region with project proposals related to human rights, democratization or strengthening of civil society may apply. At the same time, we encourage projects targeting political rights in Kazakhstan, minority rights in Tajikistan, and reconciliation and protection of basic human rights after the Osh events in Kyrgyzstan.
Uzbekistan:
On March 16 2011, Human Rights Center Memorial published a comprehensive report covering political repression in Uzbekistan in the period 2009-2010. The report itself is currently available only in Russian language, but the Norwegian Helsinki Committee has translated the summary of this important report by Director of Memorial’s Central Asia Programme, and one of the leading specialists on human rights in Uzbekistan, Vitaliy Ponomarev.
