The OSCE announced in a 20 June press release on the organization\'s website (http://www.osce.org) that OSCE Chairman-in-Office and Slovenian Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel \"has reiterated his call for a credible, independent, and international investigation\" into events in Andijon, Uzbekistan on 13 May. The press release coincided with an OSCE report on events in Andijon based on eyewitness testimony from Uzbek asylum seekers in Kyrgyzstan. The report concluded that \"force was used repeatedly against unarmed civilians [in Andijon on 13 May],\" adding that \"[a]n estimate based on the information given by refugees would indicate that 300-500 people may have been killed on 13 May.\" The report was based on 44 in-depth interviews with Uzbek asylum seekers in Kyrgyzstan because the OSCE did not have access to Andijon.
