Jamshid Karimov, a dissident Uzbek journalist who is also the nephew of President Islam Karimov, is being held in a psychiatric hospital in Samarkand, according to the journalist\'s family. Karimov disappeared on September 12. Another journalist Ulugbek Haydarov who was arrested on September 14, has encountered health problems in detention. Both Karimov and Haydarov had worked for the London-based Institute for War and Peace Reporting in Jizzakh. In a September 26 statement, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) described itself as \"gravely concerned\" at the treatment of the journalists. CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon commented: \"We\'re shocked at the brutal methods used against these two journalists, including psychiatric detention, a hallmark of Soviet repression. If President Karimov is treating his own nephew in this manner, it\'s hard to imagine how others might fare.\" (RFE/RL)
