Multiple UN Rulings for Rehabilitation, Compensation Ignored 
Erkin Musaev, a UN employee and former government official, was tortured and unjustly jailed for 
11 years. He was freed on August 11
th
, 2017 after the Supreme Court issued a decision shortening 
his sentence. In its 2007 Human Rights report on Uzbekistan, the United States (US) State

Department reported that Musaev was tortured in detention, which included severe beatings to his 
head, chest, and feet, and held for two months without access to a lawyer or any visitors.

 A joint 
letter from the UN special rapporteur on torture and the head of the UN Working Group on Arbitrary 
Detention to then-President Karimov said that one beating by prison officials broke Musaev’s jaw. 
Authorities also coerced him to sign a confession that he had engaged in espionage for the US, the 
United Kingdom (UK), and the UN. 
  
In May 2008, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention held that Musaev’s imprisonment was 
‘arbitrary’, and in contravention of several international treaties to which Uzbekistan is a party. By 
February 2011, when authorities transferred Musaev to a high security prison in Navoi province his 
body showed signs of burns and other wounds. In June 2012, the UN Human Rights Committee 
issued its decision that the government had tortured and otherwise ill-treated Musaev and violated 
his rights to liberty, security, and fair trial under the International Covenant on Civil and Political 
Rights (articles seven, nine and 14 respectively). The committee called on Uzbekistan to provide him 
with an effective remedy for the violations. But authorities ignored the ruling, and Musaev remained 
in prison until 2017.

Musaev’s efforts to obtain legal rehabilitation have been repeatedly thwarted. Court authorities 
refuse to provide him with his criminal sentence and have denied his right to appeal on the basis 
that he did not submit it in the file. Like other former prisoners Musaev has struggled to find gainful 
employment due to his criminal record. He has been subjected to surveillance by security services 
and has faced great difficulties reintegrating into society after years in prison.  
 
Remarkably, the existence of two separate rulings from UN human rights bodies declaring his 
conviction unlawful and calling for him to be provided compensation and a remedy have not moved 
Uzbek authorities in Uzbekistan to fully exonerate Musaev, nor to even open a new trial. They 
should do so immediately.
