Freedom for all political and religious prisoners in Uzbekistan

Dear friends, ladies and gentlemens!

First we started the petition in the website causes.com but there just 200 was engaged in our action. It is not good enough. We need more signatures and I hope that people around the world, who love the democracy, freedom and peace can help us to free more than 30 prisoners of conscience in Uzbekistan.

Please, raise up for the sake of prisoners of conscience in Uzbekistan - One of the most obvious crimes of the dictatorial regime of Islam Karimov in Uzbekistan is his very cruel relations vs his opponents, to dissenters, to the representatives of the democratic opposition, to known religious leaders and their families.

Despite repeated promises of the authorities about the political reforms, about improving the legal and judicial system on numerous meetings of representatives of regime with EU, U.S., UN, OSCE, EBRD, IMF, and other national and international organizations, the government of Uzbekistan continues its brutal repression against dissenters, opposition and religious citizens.

Today, your attention is invited to an updated list of prisoners of conscience, and a list of missing people of Uzbekistan. We appeal to the UN, OSCE, EU, USA, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Reporters Without Borders, the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the international community not to forget the prisoners of conscience in Uzbekistan.

Please, raise up the question of the fate of these prisoners of conscience who has been arrested just because they thinking as free people and theirs thoughts are different from government.

Everyone of this prisoners should be released immediately and they have right to live as free citizens.
