This documentary features Khurmat Babadjanov, who came to speak at the "Terror, Security and Human Rights – The Global Perspective"conference. It highlights the threats independent journalist from Uzbekistan face in and outside their country.

Journalisten werden bespitzelt, ausgewiesen, weggesperrt, gefoltert. Die Menschenrechtssituation im zentralasiatischen Land Usbekistan ist dramatisch.

It's a great video, which highlights the appaling situation in Uzbekistan. Shame it's in German.
