Akh, O’zbekiston, O’zbekiston…
Uzbekistan has closed yet another NGO- it’s Counterpart, an American organization that supports local civil society. You could see it coming from a mile away, but it’s still shocking.
Uzbekistan has three tactics. For NGOs that are openly engaged in helping people to organize (organize anything), they are accused of distributing information without a license, going against their charters, etc. etc. This is a thin code for: helping reforms, democracy, and freedom, which to the Uzbekistan government means, aiding terrorists, since nobody but a terrorist could possibly object to their present fascist system.
For NGOs that are helping orphans, widows, refugees, and other poor people (such as UNHCR, which was responsible for the tiny number of Afghan refugees and slightly larger number of Tajik refugees in Uzbekistan and which has since been kicked out of the country), the government says that there is no such work to be done, and tells them to leave.
For NGOs that are/were engaged in long-term development partnerships with the EU, USAID, and the Uzbek government, and which are engaged in projects that help with most everything (microcredit, large infrastructure, centralized water supply, etc.) their registrations are never renewed. I won’t give any examples, because God forbid this hurt their chances, but the Uzbek government and they know who they are (pretty much every NGO left in the country).
Here’s a link to the article.
Don’t forget to visit the newest addition to “Blogs that Rock the Casbah”, either. Free Uzbekistan is a great site for tracking what is going on there and supports minority (Tajik, Russian, Tatar, Kyrghyz, Turkmen, and other) rights, freedom of speech, movement, and so on.

And they totally rocked! totally! the last season of Tajikistar! Oh I mean Turkmenistar! Oh wait was it Uzbekistar! Oh who cares about centra asia anyway….

Tajikistar is a great idea. Unfortunately the production quality of TV in Tajikistan is about 10 times worse than in Afghanistan (don’t ask why, nobody can figure this out).
And hey… me and that dude Nathan at Registan.net care.

But, overall, Chinese news reports about the American protest movement have declined drastically in recent days, perhaps for fear that the American movement could trigger unwelcome thoughts about the financial inequities within China itself. In a country paranoid about social unrest, the catalyzing potential of OWS—similar protests have spread across the world, from London to Melbourne—must surely be discomfiting China’s leaders.hongxinmaoyi114post.
Comment by new era hats for sale — 31.10.2011 @ 06.0.09
After weeks of surprisingly comprehensive OWS coverage, though, it’s now the Chinese media who are clamming up. On Oct. 23, Xinhua did run an article from Tehran reporting that Iranian students were marching in solidarity with the Wall Street ralliers. (The article went on to note that the Iranians also burned the American flag and chanted “Down with the United States” and “Down with Capitalism.”)hongxinmaoyi114post.

Hxing4 With a great choice of handbags from Michael Kors, there’s no reason to buy a fake handbag.
Counterfeit handbags support terrorism, child abuse, drug abuse and so many more horrific crimes. Help
combat the counterfeit industry and buy authentic designer handbags only.
