American Realpolitik (Aug 10 2003 23:34 GMT) - I've grown to like American Realpolitik and not just for the comics.

Uzbekistan's prisoners lament brutal treatment (Aug 10 2003 23:33 GMT) - AP via Khilafah: Many of the inmates in Uzbekistan's most notorious prison are hardened thieves, thugs and killers, but even more were sent there as suspected Islamic extremists. Most of the prisoners are skittish about talking to outsiders, but a few look visiting reporters straight in the eye and defy the guards by talking openly about torture, beatings and rapes. Akram Ikromov, one of those convicted as a religious militant in this secular former Soviet state, asked first if the small group of journalists allowed a rare visit had come to find out the truth. Only then did he begin to talk about the physical abuses that have made Zhaslyk a sinister symbol of the country's abusive law enforcement and prison system. |
