More details
Craig Murray, former British ambassador to Uzbekistan, has called for sanctions to be imposed on Uzbek cotton in order to put pressure on the country's president Islam Karimov, a major violator of human rights.
The idea behind this campaign is to use September Ist, Uzbekistan's independence day, to promote awareness of the situation there and of the call for sanctions.
If 20 or more bloggers were to do this, we could begin to make a difference. I hope you'll feel able to do this small thing. If you need any more information, please fell free to post questions in the comments section.
