This case in #Uzbekistan is as tragic & sad as it is absurd.
#KadyrYusupov, a retired diplomat, was condemned to years in prison on completely bogus charges. He's been tortured, he's been denied his medicines, and his family has been harassed.
He should be freed at once.

Good to see the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention call on #Uzbekistan's authorities to release #KadyrYusupov immediately and provide him with adequate compensation.
NGOs say the same: iphronline.org/uzbekistan-un-…
Time for key governments to step up:

And you have to remember, that this is all in the context of the authorities in #Uzbekistan trying to convince the world that they've changed...
...that the country is no longer the brutal dictatorship infamous for boiling people alive...

No one believes an authoritarian government's promises of reform.
We believe only verifiable actions that demonstrate a real commitment to those promises.
➡️ Stop torturing people in custody.
➡️ Release the unjustly jailed.
