Uzbekistan: Yusuf Juma, a Martyr Poet

Воскресенье, Апрель 13, 2008

By Tolkun

Today, in Uzbekistan, where free voices are being severely silenced, practically no one dares not even to promote, but just to express anti-governmental ideas. But this is not the case of dissident poet Yusuf Juma, as his poems are full of passion and concern about his country and martyr nation, interlaced with the calls for democracy and rule of law.

International Religious Freedom Report 2007
Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor
Uzbekistan

The Constitution provides for freedom of religion and for the principle of separation of church and state; however, the Government continued to restrict these rights in practice. The Government permits the operation of what it considers mainstream religious groups, including approved Muslim groups, Jewish groups, the Russian Orthodox Church, and various other Christian denominations, such as Roman Catholics, Lutherans, and Baptists. Uzbek society generally tolerates Christian churches as long as they do not attempt to win converts among ethnic Uzbeks; the law prohibits or severely restricts activities such as proselytizing, importing and disseminating religious literature, and offering private religious instruction.

Кўзга ёш қалқмай илож йўқ

Машраб ЮСУФЖОН ўғлининг зиндонда ёзилган фиғонли, айни чоғда ҳақ учун ўққа кўксини тутиб беришга тайёр мард ва жасур ўзбек шоири ўғлони тимсолини ички бир ҳис-ҳаяжон ва фахр ҳамда ғурур ҳиссини туйиб,кўксингиз тўлиб, беихтиёр кўзга ёш қалқмай илож йўқ.
Машрабжоннинг машрабона содда ва кўнгилнинг энг қаъридан отилиб чиққан нидоси кишини мардликка,инсонийликка,меҳру муҳаббатли бўлишга ундайди. Прочтите эту запись до конца »

Erk makes no statement, alas…

Вторник, Июль 3, 2007

It is unfortunate that Uzbekistan is ruled by a dictator and it is even worse that there is no opposition in the country which is capable of, if not withstanding dictatorship, at least becoming an alternative to it and showing people that they have a choice even in the darkness of tyranny.
