The Independent has published another sensationalised article against legitimate president of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe. We read:

'"Such threats will not deter the UK from speaking out against the continued misgovernance and human rights abuses in Zimbabwe," a Foreign Office official said.'

Well, that would be nice if in the case of Uzbekistan, the UK behaved VERY differently!

'In October 2002 (Craig) Murray made a controversial speech at a human rights conference hosted by Freedom House in Tashkent, in which he claimed that "Uzbekistan is not a functioning democracy" and that the boiling to death of two members of Hizb ut-Tahrir "is not an isolated incident."Later, United Nations head Kofi Annan confronted Uzbek President Islam Karimov with Murray's claims.

Murray was summoned to London and, on March 8, 2003, was reprimanded for writing, in a letter to his employers, in response to a speech by George W. Bush, "when it comes to the Karimov regime, systematic torture and rape appear to be treated as peccadilloes, not to affect the relationship and to be downplayed in the international fora ... I hope that once the present crisis is over we will make plain to the U.S., at senior level, our serious concern over their policy in Uzbekistan."

In July 2003, some of his embassy staff were sacked while he was away on holiday...
...
Murray was removed from his post in October 2004, shortly after a leaked report in the Financial Times quoted him as claiming that MI6 used intelligence provided by Uzbek authorities through torture.[9] The Foreign Office denied there was any direct connection and stated that Murray had been removed for "operational" reasons.
