| 13.01.2006 On July, 2004, the chairman of Andijan remedial society "Appeal" Saidjahon Zainabitdinov wrote: " When relatives of persons , under investigation or prisoners aspire to meet the close person who is in imprisonment, first of all, they wish to learn about his health, about his moral and spiritual condition. And the main thing to learn - whether he is exposed to tortures, both from authorities, and from the chamber mates. Practice shows, that in investigatory and penitentiary establishments of Uzbekistan, the right to appointment with the prisoner is provided at the lowest level. In many respects it is connected with imperfection of the criminal legislation. However, very much depends and on executors: the human factor on behalf of the personnel of establishments on maintenance of prisoners, regularly damages to unsteady right ". Today the legal expert from Andijan, told to all world about execution of peace citizens by authorities of own country, himself has appeared on a place of the yesterday's clients. The public figure is accused in "distribution of the information with the purpose to spread panic "and in "terrorism". Agency " Fergana. ru " already informed that soon after so-called " the Andijan events ", taken place in May of the last year in Uzbekistan, one of eyewitnesses of mass execution of peace citizens legal expert Saidzhahon Zajnabitdinov has been arrested [see clauses " Lawyer Saidzhahan Zajnabiddinov is arrested, because he was not silent? ", " for Uzbek legal expert S.Zajnabitdinov has stood up Amnesty International ", " Andijan legal expert S.Zajnabitdinov, probably, will be soon released "]. Long before May, 13th, 2005 the name of the Andijan legal expert was well-known in Uzbekistan and abroad. In 2003 S.Zajnabitdinov has been accused of slander and distribution of false data. Then the Andijan city court has raised criminal case against the legal expert who dispatched letters-messages "About infringements of human rights ". Almost lonely voice of the legal expert sounded and during the information blockade which have closed Uzbekistan on May, 13th. Interview and messages of Saidjhahon Zainabitdinov have been broadcasted by leading news agencies, television channels, radio stations and newspapers of Russia and other countries of the world. Exactly from his story to broadcasting company NTV, the inhabitants of Uzbekistan and Russia have learned that victims of execution from large-caliber machine guns in streets of Andijan became not insurgents and not " bearded Afghans ", but the simple city dwellers who have left on the area with despair. S.Zajnabitdinov has been arrested later only week after events in Andijan. One month later his native have ceased to receive news about the father and the husband, and the closed trial above the lawyer has begun on the last Wednesday. Nobody has informed anything to relatives of Saidjahon , to hearings of the case they are not admitted, and official authorities do not give any comments.
