⚡️ Repressions against ethnic Karakalpaks by Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and his daughter Saida Mirziyoyeva continue.
More info on the situation in the sovereign Republic of #Karakalpakstan within #Uzbekistan and the latest updates on the case of Dauletmurat Tazhimuratov are in the attached:

By the time his prison term ends, he will be 59 years old. If he survives. If the regime of Shavkat #Mirziyoyev and Saida #Mirziyoyeva even decides to release him.
Freedom for Dauletmurat.
Freedom for #Karakalpakstan.
🇫🇷 France also refused, as Paris seeks to pursue uranium business with the authoritarian regime of Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and his daughter Saida Mirziyoyeva.

A stream of torture claims involving #Uzbekistan's most prominent political prisoner - #Karakalpakstan community leader Dauletmurat Tajimuratov - undermine the reform narrative promoted by the Mirziyoyev administration

🇮🇷 In particular, the experience of the bloody suppression of peaceful protests in #Karakalpakstan by the Uzbek army, as well as the situation following the January events in Kazakhstan and the violent crackdown in Belarus, shows ⤵️
UN rapporteur “gravely concerned by new allegations of torture and ill-treatment against Dawletmurat Tajimuratov and his continued detention". Rights defender Tajimuratov serving 16 years in #Uzbekistan over #Karakalpakstan 2022 violence

Unfortunately, Uzbekistan, under the regime of Shavkat Mirziyoyev, is trying instead of dialogue to destroy the Karakalpaks and their national identity through repression and killings.

I won’t even get into the question of respect for the residents of the Republic of #Karakalpakstan, where there is a state language – Karakalpak. The authorities of #Uzbekistan have long ceased to consider the Karakalpaks equal citizens of the country.
