Published in News Digest

By empty (10/29/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)

A court in Tashkent ruled on 26 October to leave in force an earlier court decision shutting down the Internews Tashkent NGO for six months, RFE/RL\'s Uzbek Service reported. The initial decision in early September had suspended Internews Tashkent, which supports independent media, for charter violations that Internews lawyer Bakhtiyor Shohnazarov described as insignificant and easily remedied. USAID representative Richard Stoddard lamented the court ruling, saying, \"As the grant giver for Internews Tashkent\'s main projects, I am deeply saddened and disappointed by this decision.
