Uzbek Arrests

RFE/RL reports that human rights workers in Uzbekistan are expressing concern about recent arrests there. In addition to the already widely discussed case of Saidjahon Zainabitdinov, there are also fears for the safety of two members of the human rights group Ezgulik (Goodness), who were reportedly beaten as they were on their way to interview witnesses of the 13 May violence. Other cases of intimidation and arrest are currently under scrutiny.
