Resolution on human rights in Uzbekistan of 23 October 2014

The European Parliament adopted a resolution on human rights in Uzbekistan.

The resolution was tabled by the EPP, S&D, ECR, ALDE, Greens/EFA as well as Ignazio Corrao and Fabio Massimo Castaldo.

Parliament stressed that although Uzbekistan has made commitments relating to the protection of human rights, including the freedoms of expression, assembly, association and religion guaranteed in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the prohibition of torture enshrined in the Convention against Torture, these commitments have yielded few positive results.

The Uzbek authorities have imprisoned thousands of people on politically motivated charges to enforce its repressive rule, targeting human rights and opposition activists, journalists, religious believers, artists and other perceived critics. Uzbekistan is ranked 166th out of 180 countries on the World Freedom of the Press Index 2014 by Reporters Without Borders.[...]
