Statement by the Political Council of the Socialist Movement of Kazakhstan on the intensification of anti-communist persecutions in the Turkic States:
In Uzbekistan, the well known blogger and left wing activist Aziz Khakimov was given a harsh sentence of 4 years and 2 months in prison for speaking out against the rehabilitation of the leaders of the Basmachi movement of 1918-1944. His only “crime” was that he called them murderers and executioners of the people!
