O liberated people of the world! Look at the oppression of the regime in Uzbekistan

We direct this address firstly to the Muslims of the world, for this oppression falls on a people only because they carry the Islamic call, and we direct it secondly to all human rights organizations, and thirdly to all liberated people in the world. What we mention here are just some examples that happened over the last month, though they were preceded by many atrocities from this regime, that we have mentioned previously.

1 – The Shaab, Ooulmasaw Bahadir, of the city Margalan was detained in a Garawol Bazaar prison in Bukhara province. The supervising police officers in the prison tortured him worse than beasts in a jungle. He nearly bled to death yet they did not take him to hospital and instead transferred him to another prison.

2 - The Shaab, Rosebayev Hakeem Jan, of the Andijan province, has been in Jasliq prison since 1999. He was due to come out of prison in the month of March this year because he finished his sentence, but the prison administration extended his detention for five more years, for no other reason than to keep him in prison. They transferred him to a prison in Zarafshan town.

3 – The Shaab, Mrzaiev Abdul Aziz, from the Tashkent province, Chinaz district, was sentenced to twenty years and he was in the 64/51 prison in the town of Kasane, Qashkadiria province. On 7 June, the current management of this prison brought his body to his family and ordered them to bury the body quickly, without showing the body to the people. When his family tried to wash his body and put him in the coffin, the witnesses saw traces of torture on the body. They saw that his skull was fractured, his eyes were out of their sockets, his neck stitched up to the back of his head and his chest stitched from his navel to his chin. The governor of the prison responsible for this torture is Colonel Rakhmonov Erkin Mustafa Aowith.

4 – The state of Uzbekistan tightened pressure not only upon prisoners who are in prison, but also upon their relatives who are outside of jail as well as upon the relatives of those whom they want to arrest but did not find them or they fled from their homes, some fleeing to other countries and others fleeing to became homeless within the country. The intelligence chases their relatives and asks them to present themselves to police stations for interrogation, threatening them on one hand and trying to entice them to serve their interests, by becoming spies for the state, on the other hand.

Some of these intelligence officials acknowledge that they are commanded to perpetrate these acts upon the orders of the highest leadership in the state, i.e. the head of state, Karimov.

These are some examples of oppression from Karimov against the Shebaab of Hizb ut-Tahrir in particular and there are other examples against all those who call for Islam, even those who are not from Hizb ut-Tahrir. This is because he fears that Hizb ut-Tahrir may incite the thoughts and feelings of the Ummah in this country to overthrow him from power because of his tyranny and his Kufr. But his tyranny will hasten his fall, for we see now what is happening in the Arab countries, where people erupted due to the severity of the oppression of the tyrants. The peoples of Central Asia are not far from eruption in the faces of their tyrant rulers, and in particular the ruler of Uzbekistan.

وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ

"Such is the chastisement of your Lord when He chastises communities in the midst of their wrong: grievous, indeed, and severe is His chastisement." [Hud, 102]

Hizb ut-Tahrir Uzbekistan
