UN CONDEMNS TURKMENISTAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS
By empty (4/15/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
The UN Commission on Human Rights voted on 15 April to approve a harshly worded resolution calling on Turkmenistan to improve its treatment of ethnic minorities and overall human rights record. The resolution, which was proposed by the United States and the European Union, expresses profound concern at limitations on freedom of speech in Turkmenistan; the \"discriminatory practices of Turkmenistan\'s government toward ethnic Russians, Uzbeks, and other minorities\"; and \"state policy based on suppressing any political activity.\" Twenty-five countries voted in favor, 11 against, and 17 abstained, including Russia.Visit also
