Child Slavery In Uzbekistan
More invaluable work from the Environmental Justice Foundation, in collaboration with Anti-Slavery International. Their latest thoroughly researched report estimates that one million children were subjected to slave labout during the 2009 cotton harvest in Uzbekistan. This is essential work because it gives the lie to false UK, US and EU claims that the human rights situation under the Karimov regime is "improving", thus "justifying" their continued alliance with Uzbekistan as a logistics base and route for operations in Afghanistan.
