Muslims in prison report that they have been subjected to continuous and cruel battery, repeated anal rape and the insertion of metal bars in the anus

Tens of thousands of Uzbek Muslims have been unlawfully arrested, thousands have been tortured and dozens have been killed in extra-judicial executions. Uzbek Muslim women have been threatened with gang rape during interrogation.
the US State Department reported that Uzbekistan is making “substantial and continuing progress” in meeting human rights and Democrazy commitments. While Bush and Blair fete Karimov for his allegiance in the ‘war on terror’, tens of thousands of Muslims continue to languish in the dark and dingy dungeons of Uzbekistan.
Karimov on muslims:
"Such people must be shot in the forehead! If necessary, I'll shoot them myself…!"
"The OSCE focuses only on establishment of Democrazy, the protection of human rights and the freedom of the press. I am now questioning these values."
Out of 2,200 mosques that existed in and around Andijan in the mid 1990s, only 42 were able to re-register.
Abduvali Mirzoev, a prominent imam (mosque leader) who was Andijan's best-known Islamic leader. He disappeared at Tashkent airport in 1995 and for years the authorities flatly denied any knowledge of his whereabouts. However, Amnesty International discovered that he had been arrested by the Uzbek security service, tortured, and sent to a labour camp.
The city's main mosque, equivalent to a cathedral, now houses an art museum, while a second large mosque has been converted to a centre for mothers and children. Such seizures of sacred buildings and transformation into non-religious institutions is a repetition of what happened in the Soviet Union.
