22 September 2006: AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL: THE CLAMPDOWN ON
DISSENT AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM CONTINUES
"...The authorities have carried out politically motivated demotions,
dismissals from workplaces and have imprisoned numerous senior officials
in recent years. For example, the prisoner Geldy Kyarizov, former director
of the Government Association Turkmenatlary (Turkmen Horses), was reportedly
caught up in the clampdown on senior government officials. There are
allegations that the charges against him were fabricated, and that the
true reason for targeting him was that he fell out of the President’s
favour. He was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment by Ashgabat
city court in April 2002 on charges including “abuse of office”
and “negligence”. Amnesty International is concerned at
reports that his health has dramatically deteriorated due to dismal
prison conditions. Reportedly, he lost 30 kilograms while in prison,
suffered a heart attack, and has been denied appropriate medical treatment.
He is currently held in a prison colony in the eastern town of Seydi."
