Please write to your MP, MEP and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
Geldy's family were told late last year that he had died under
torture, but they have recently been told that they may take food
and medicine for him to the Department for Execution of Punishment,
which suggests that he is still alive, although they still have
no confirmation of this or of where he may be being held.
Their stud farm is being dismantled, despite no
alternative land having first been found, as was promised in writing.
Amnesty International are now taking up Geldy's
case, marking him 'Urgent Action'.
We are asking that you please write to your MP,
MEP and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, to bring his plight
to their attention, and to ask them to determine from the Turkmen
government whether Geldy is still alive.
You
will find specimen letters here.
Further information on Amnesty International's
involvement the latest situation for Geldy's family is available
here at this website.
Geldy's family have sent their warmest wishes
and grateful thanks for all the support offered so far.
3rd January 2007 - Please send
cards to Geldy
Following the failure of President Niyazov to
release Geldy in the autumn 2006 amnesty, firm news of Geldy
has been lacking. As reported in October,
it is believed that in September Geldy was moved from Chardzhou
Prison to Ovadan Depe, the notorious prison for political dissidents.
To make matters even worse, Geldy's family were
later told by a single individual claiming to represent the
KNB that Geldy had died under torture, but this remains unconfirmed.
Since the death
of President Niyazov in December, the country has been in a
period of flux and it is unclear who will be the next president
and what the future will hold.
In the light of the recent
call by Human Rights Watch for Turkmenistan to release their
political dissidents, we are asking supporters to please write
cards to Geldy. Even if he is still alive, he may not receive them
but the authorities will see that interest in his case and calls
for his release remain active.
Please send cards to:
Geldy Kyarizov,
C/O Ministry of Internal affairs,
Department of the execution of punishment: Novgorodskaya 10,
Ashgabat 744000,
Turkmenistan.
Thank you.
While we wait, you can still help Geldy and his family in the
following ways:
- Fundraising events - If you have ideas for further events
or can help in any way, please e-mail
. Thank you!
