14:46 - Clowning performance dedicated to Human Rights in Uzbekistan
According to Uzbekistan National News Agency, a round-table talk was held in Tashkent the theme of which was "The Ombudsman collaboration with Court and Human Rights defense authorities and presentation of the "World Ombudsmen" compilation".

In this event organized by Human Rights Representative (Ombudsman) of Oliy Majlis of Republic of Uzbekistan Sayora Rashidova, members of Senate of Oliy Majlis and Legislative chamber, human rights defense authorities, non-government organizations, members of diplomatic corps acting in the country, and reporters participated. Sayora Rashidova led the event.

According to the news, participants of the round-table underlined that under the President Islam Karimov patronage were created human rights and freedom defense mechanisms which are getting implemented into life. It is known , that the world's the most respectful human rights organizations put the president of Uzbekistan onto the list of the world's worst 10 dictators. It is ridiculous talking about the positive affects being in human rights issues under his patronage. Conversely, they should have talked about the massive violations of human rights in the country.

During the table-talk, there was also a presentation of the "World Ombudsmen" book collection. This edition was printed in partnership with OSCE.

The involvement of OSCE into this event that was organized by Sayora Rashidova was very pitiful says our correspondent. This fact proves one more time the OSCE to be powerless and may have died as an organization.
