An Uzbek photographer, Umida Akhmedova is looking at three years hard labor for taking some quite nice shots of the people of Uzbekistan. The government there created a committee that judged them harmful to the image of Uzbekistan. Judge for yourself. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8473285.stm There's a link below to a petition if you want to support her. http://www.gopetition.com/online/33031.html
Did she expose an Uzbeky government plot to export children in clay pots or something? I don't get it.
