 UzbekistanHuman Rights Watch ExpelledIn March 2011, the Uzbekistan government expelled all Human Rights Watch employees from
the country. The government gave no reason for the expulsion. Human Rights Watch released a statement
that indicated the decision came after years of harassment by government officials. In the statement, the group said, "Well
over a dozen human rights and political activists and independent journalists are in prison, torture and
ill-treatment in the criminal justice system are systematic, and serious violations go unpunished."
Human Rights Watch called on the European Union and the United States to come down harder on Uzbekistan
for its human rights violations.
Both the U.S. and the European Union have worked to improve relations with Uzbekistan
in recent months. A neighbor of Afghanistan, Uzbekistan offers a route for the United States to get supplies to get into that country.
