Rasul Tadjibaev, Mutabar Tadjibaeva’s brother, has released the following open statement after finally being allowed to see Mutabar on 10 August 2007.

“Today, 10 August, at 2 p.m., I met with my sister, Mutabar Tadjibaeva.

The last time that I saw Mutabar was in January 2007.

The meeting lasted for 2 hours. Her health is deteriorating. She has problems with her kidneys and heart and is suffering from rheumatism. As before, she said that she will fight until the end for her release; she considers herself to be guilty of nothing.

On 25th August it is Mutabar Tadjibaeva’s birthday. She is the leader of “Plammenoe Serdtse” (Fiery Hearts Club) and participant of the civil movement “Human Rights Alliance of Uzbekistan”. Mutabar has asked that congratulations should be sent to Islam Karimov personally as no letters are getting through to her.

Mutabar also declared that she is always with all political prisoners of Uzbekistan, and calls on them all to hold out until the victorious end, not to surrender or yield, and appeals to them with the slogan: “We are right and therefore we will win!”.
