- HELSINKI COMMITTEE SAYS WEST IGNORES CENTRAL ASIAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS. Aaron Rhodes, executive director of the International
Helsinki Committee for Human Rights, told a news conference in Kazakhstan on 5 February that the West is turning a blind eye
to human rights violations in Central Asia, Reuters reported. Stressing that the overall rights situation in the region is
deteriorating, Rhodes said, "Anything [local governments] consider as politically threatening they label 'terrorist,' and
unfortunately a number of Western governments do accept this logic." Rhodes singled out Uzbekistan for harsh criticism, saying,
"The number of people who are imprisoned for their beliefs [in Uzbekistan] is extremely high; the number of torture cases
and murders by officials is extremely high." He also called attention to authoritarian steps that Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan
have taken in the wake of Georgia's Rose Revolution and Ukraine's Orange Revolution. Rhodes charged that the West has placed
its strategic interests, which include access to the region's energy resources and Central Asia's cooperation in the U.S.-led
war on terrorism, above human rights concerns. RFE/RL NEWSLINE Vol. 9, No. 24, Part I, 7 February 2005

places in the former Soviet republic, the Interfax news agency reported.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL CONDEMNS DEATH PENALTY IN UZBEKISTAN, BELARUS. Amnesty International condemned Belarus and Uzbekistan
as "the last countries from the former Soviet Union that carry out the death penalty," in a 4 October press release on the
organization's site (http://www.amnesty.org). The press release announces a new report,
"Belarus/Uzbekistan: The Last Executioners," which contains case studies and recommendations. Dilobar Khudoiberganova, an
activist with the Uzbekistan-based organization Mothers against the Death Penalty and Torture, told RFE/RL's Uzbek Service
on 4 October that "Most death sentences are issued on the basis of testimony obtained under duress during the investigation."
Amnesty International's Anna Sunder-Plassman told RFE/RL's Uzbek Service that she hopes Belarus and Uzbekistan will follow
the example of other countries of the former Soviet Union in doing away with capital punishment. RFE/RL NEWSLINE Vol. 8, No.
