Movements Restricted, Surveilled 
Other former prisoners who were ‘conditionally released’ under Article 73 of Uzbekistan’s Criminal 
Code have said their freedom of movement has been restricted, that they were under surveillance, 
and that they have been required to report periodically to police for ‘preventative conversations’. 
 
Muhammad Bekjanov, one of the world’s longest imprisoned journalists until his release in February 
2017, was unable to travel outside of his home region of Khorezm in northwestern Uzbekistan for a 
whole year. He has since left Uzbekistan to reunite with his family in the US. But he said that the 
authorities have not provided him any legal avenues to challenge his conviction, nor to recover 
property that was confiscated after his arrest and kidnapping from Ukraine in 1999. 
 
Human rights defender Agzam Turgunov and independent journalist Bobomurod Abdullaev, both 
former political prisoners, said that since their releases security services and police have subjected 
them to surveillance and even intimidation. Turgunov has been detained and fined multiple times 
since his release—on one occasion in August 2018 for using his phone to record a peaceful protest in 
front of the Supreme Court and again in 2019. Abdullaev was detained by security services in 
September 2017 and tortured while in pre-trial detention on charges of attempting to overthrow the 
government. In May 2018, following a trial attended by the author he was conditionally released and 
fined. While Abdullaev’s trial set precedent for its degree of openness and transparency, authorities 
have never followed up with an investigation into Abdullaev’s credible allegations of torture.

Azam Farmonov, a human rights activist, whose 14-and-a-half-year sentence was shortened upon his 
release in October 2017, said that he still is required to pay a monthly portion of his salary to the 
government as part of his conditional release, and that it is extremely difficult to get the medical 
care payment that is supposed to be provided by the government for former prisoners. “Obtaining 
the monetary stipend provided by the government for medical is so difficult, I simply gave up,” 
Farmonov told me.
