Ο υπάλληλος υπηρεσίας πληροφοριών απαιτεί ότι η CIA ήταν complicit στα βασανιστήρια στο Ουζμπεκιστάν
Τρίτη, 16η Σεπτεμβρίου 2008 Από Neil Mackay | Η CIA ΈΣΤΕΙΛΕ τους πράκτορές ΤΗΣ στις αίθουσες βασανιστηρίων του Ουζμπεκιστάν για να παρατηρήσει τη κακοποίηση των υποτιθέμενων ισλαμικών τρομοκρατών, χορηγώντας σε ένα διαφωνούν μέλος των του Ουζμπεκιστάν υπηρεσιών ασφάλειας που επιδιώκει τώρα το πολιτικό άσυλο στο UK μετά από τη φεύγοντας Τασκένδη. Το Ikrom Yakubov, ένας προηγούμενος ταγματάρχης σε η εθνική υπηρεσία ασφάλειας (SNB), κατηγορούμενο η CIA της συμμετοχής στις συνόδους βασανιστηρίων στην κεντρική ασιατική δημοκρατία σε μια αποκλειστική συνέντευξη με την Κυριακή ανακοινώνει, κατά τη διάρκεια της οποίας έκανε μια σειρά τρομάζοντας αξιώσεων. Αυτοί περιλαμβάνουν τις αξιώσεις που: Richard Conroy, ο συντονιστής λ Μεγάλης Βρετανίας των Η.Ε στο Ουζμπεκιστάν, δολοφονήθηκε σε παραγγελία του Ισλάμ Karimov, ο Πρόεδρος του Ουζμπεκιστάν. Το Karimov έχει περιγραφεί ως ένας από ενεργά στελέχη ενάντια των ανθρώπινων δικαιωμάτων οργανώσεων τους παγκόσμιους χειρότερους δικτάτορες και ο κανόνας του, από το 1991, έχει χαρακτηριστεί από τους ισχυρισμούς των βασανιστηρίων (συμπεριλαμβανομένων των αξιώσεων ότι τα θύματα ήταν βρασμένα ζωντανά), του ελέγχου μέσων, των πλαστών εκλογών και της βιαιότητας της υπέρ-δημοκρατίας και λ που μια σειρά επιθέσεων βομβών στο κεφάλαιο, Τασκένδη, Μαρτίου 2004 οργανώθηκε από το SNB προκειμένου να σφιγχτούν κανόνας και η κεκλιμένη ράμπα Karimov ο δικτατορικός επάνω η απειλή από τις ισλαμικές ομάδες τρόμου το λ Karimov διέταξε την πασίγνωστη σφαγή Andijan Μαΐου 2005, όταν έβαλαν φωτιά οι του Ουζμπεκιστάν δυνάμεις ασφάλειας στους διαμαρτυρομένους, που σκοτώνουν τίποτα μέχρι 1500 άνθρωποι το καθεστώς λ Karimov πλαισίωσε συνήθως αθώο μουσουλμάνοι στις δαπάνες της συμμετοχής στον τρόμο Islamist και τις ψευδείς απειλές τρόμου για να διατηρήσει το πιάσιμό του στη χώρα, και το λ η CIA χρησιμοποίησε μια μυστική δυνατότητα κράτησης στο Ουζμπεκιστάν όπου οι ύποπτοι στο «πόλεμο στον τρόμο» λήφθηκαν από σε όλο τον κόσμο σε είναι βασανισμένες από ανακρίσεις SNB. Yakubov τρεπόμενο σε φυγή Ουζμπεκιστάν και επιδιωκόμενο άσυλο σε το UK αυτό το μήνα. Craig Murray, ο προηγούμενος πρεσβευτής Μεγάλης Βρετανίας στο Ουζμπεκιστάν και ένας σκληρός κριτικός του καθεστώτος Karimov, έχουν για το αξιόπιστο Yakubov, απαιτώντας είναι βέβαιο το υπόβαθρό του ως ένας υπάλληλος υπηρεσίας πληροφοριών και ότι βρίσκει την ιστορία Yakubov πιστευτή. Το Yakubov έπεσε από την εύνοια με το SNB μετά από γράφοντας σε μια σειρά επίσημων εκθέσεων για το του Ουζμπεκιστάν εθνική Συμβούλιο Ασφαλείας που κρίθηκαν επικριτικών με την υπηρεσία πληροφοριών . ήταν που κατηγορήθηκε αργότερα για την κατασκόπευση για την Αμερική και μέχρι το 2007 συλλήφθηκε και βασανίστηκε με τις ήττες . By 2008, and now working with human rights groups, Yakubov left the country and, from Turkey, wrote a series of anonymous articles criticising Karimov and the intelligence services, which he posted on the internet. Yakubov says the SNB responded by emailing death threats to him, saying they knew his real identity. His cousin was subsequently killed, and Yakubov is sure that SNB agents were responsible for his death, as threats had also been made against his family. Yakubov’s most powerful claim relates to a meeting in 2002 with an American official whom Yakubov’s chief in the SNB described as a CIA agent. “The man introduced himself to me as Andrew,” said Yakubov. “We drove some 15 kilometres from Tashkent to the town of Chirchik, where the SNB has a secret detention centre located underground. We entered the jail and there was an SNB officer torturing a man. Andrew and I watched for about 10 minutes. We were both present while this man was being beaten around the neck with a stick. “The victim had been captured by the Americans in Afghanistan and taken to Uzbekistan for interrogation by the SNB. He was supposed to be an Islamist. Andrew then went into the administration room and came out 20 minutes later with a bag full of papers.” Yakubov said the American did not protest or urge the torturer to stop beating the prisoner. Instead, Yakubov said, Andrew told sexual jokes and taught him to swear in English. “He certainly did not appear upset by what he witnessed,” Yakubov said. Yakubov also claimed that Conroy, a senior British UN official based in Tashkent, was killed on the orders of the government because he was aware that senior officials were involved in international drug trafficking. Conroy died when his plane crashed in January 2004 in the Uzbek capital. Yakubov says he was told by a friend, also a member of the intelligence services that a bomb was placed on the plane by the SNB. According to Yakubov, a series of bomb attacks in Tashkent in 2004, which the government blamed on Islamist suicide bombers, was organised by the SNB. Yakubov said: “The intention was to show the world and Uzbekistan that only Karimov could guarantee peace and safety. It helped him maintain power.” Yakubov added that this policy also involved the SNB “setting up” fake Islamic terror groups to keep public panic ramped up. Ironically, in 2005 Hazel Blears, then a Home Office minister, invoked the Tashkent bombings during a debate on government anti-terror measures. Craig Murray, ambassador to Tashkent at the time of the bombings, said evidence he saw with his own eyes did not point towards Islamist suicide attacks. He claimed the alleged sites of the bombings showed no craters “or even a crack in paving stones”. The body of one suicide bomber was unmarked. Murray informed London about his findings and the Joint Terrorism Assessment Centre agreed that there were “serious flaws in the Uzbek government account”. Murray added: “I concluded that these events were a series of extrajudicial killings, covered by a highly controlled and limited agent-provocateur operation.” The Andijan massacre was also ordered by Karimov to terrify the populace, Yakubov said, and prevent any popular pro-democracy movement developing. Yakubov, who is awaiting interview by British intelligence and an immigration hearing, insists he would be either killed or tortured and jailed indefinitely if he were forced to return. He also fears assassination attempts by the SNB while in the UK. He added: “I am a dissident not just because I believe in democracy and human rights, but also because as an intelligence officer, I saw my colleagues fabricating cases against ordinary Muslims, making them out to be terrorists and religious radicals.” Murray has spoken to a number of high-level contacts in Uzbekistan, and senior opposition figures in exile, who he says all vouched for Yakubov as an intelligence officer. Murray added: ”Personally, I believe what Ikrom Yakubov is saying. His account comes over as naturalistic to me. Funnily enough, he even told me that he’d been involved in setting up a demonstration against me in Tashkent in 2004, which was organised because of statements I’d made about human rights abuses. He also says that he was keeping tabs on my love life while I was there.” Have Your Say: Intelligence officer claims CIA was complicit in torture in Uzbekistan Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
