Alisher Saipov is a name to add to a roll call of honour including murdered Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya. The murder of Alisher Saipov shows that attempts to stifle free speech are not only a problem of Putin's Russia but also of the dictatorial Mugabe type regime in Uzbekistan. Links via the Reuters story 'Uzbekistan's non-election' 21 Dec 2007, by: Andrew Stroehlein found through Craig Murray's site. www.craigmurray.co.uk

This story is well documented at Uznews.net including 26.10.07 'Bidding farewell to Alisher Saipov'.
