By empty (8/16/2005 issue of the CACI Analyst)
British Prime Minister Tony Blair said he hopes that a decision on the 15 Uzbek refugees being held at a pre- trial detention center in the Kyrgyz city of Osh will be made in compliance with UN conventions in a letter to Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, who was inaugurated on August 14, 439 Uzbek refugees who fled to Kyrgyzstan after a May uprising in the southern Uzbek city of Andizhan have already been flown to third countries. The Uzbek authorities accuse the 15 remaining refugees of being involved in serious crimes and demand their extradition. Meanwhile, the UN refugee agency has so far granted refugee status to 12 of them.Visit also
