On the third anniversary of the historic protests in Karakalpakstan, join us for an in-depth webinar featuring Salijon Abdurakhmanov, renowned journalist, human rights defender, and ISHR’s key contact for Uzbekistan.

In July 2022, the people of Karakalpakstan took to the streets in a courageous stand for autonomy, justice, and freedom of expression. Their peaceful protests were met with brutal force, resulting in deaths, hundreds of arrests, and ongoing political repression. What has changed since then? What has not? And what must the international community do to keep the spotlight on Karakalpakstan?

In this exclusive webinar, Salijon Abdurakhmanov—himself a former political prisoner and one of the world’s most respected independent voices on Uzbekistan—will offer firsthand insights into:

• The human rights aftermath of the 2022 protests
• The situation of key political prisoners like Dauletmurat Tazhimuratov
• The role of international actors and why global attention still matters
• What civil society can do today to support victims and defenders

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear from a powerful voice who continues to speak out—where others are silenced.

Registration is free. The event will be held in English. Simultaneous interpretation into Russian will be available. Hosted by the International Society for Human Rights (ISHR).
