Good luck to all the people would be the future victims of Uzbekistan Security agencies. They must not forget that in Uzbekistan any body can be jailed for 30 days if he forgets his passport in the morning. Situation of Foreigners is even worse they can rot in jail for months and even years. I am a foreigner and was locked in jail for 124 days and even today do not know the reasons My whole business and life was destroyed. I have a House, have office but do not know about that. SO BEST OF LUCK and UZBEKS WILL HAVE NEW VICTIMS. read my story. www.harleytourism.com/haroonchoudhry.html
