I am writing today to express our alarm about the continued incommunicado detention of human rights defender Yuldash Rasulov, a member of the Kashkadaria branch of the Human Rights Society of Uzbekistan. We are deeply concerned that the month Rasulov has spent in incommunicado custody has put him at continued risk for torture or ill treatment. We are further concerned that Uzbek authorities arrested Rasulov because of his protected religious and human rights activities.
