Our Presidents New Best Friend Boils People Alive

See Also: Just Who Is Our New Best Friend This 29 minute video explores the reality of life in Uzbekistan

06/26/03: Let me introduce you to our presidents new best friend, President Karimov of Uzbekistan.

President Karimov government was awarded $500m in aid from the Bush administration in 2002. The SNB (Uzbekistan's security service) received $79m of this sum.

The U.S. State Department web site states "Uzbekistan is not a democracy and does not have a free press. Many opponents of the government have fled, and others have been arrested." and "The police force and the intelligence service use torture as a routine investigation technique."

Now I would like to introduce you to Muzafar Avazov, a 35-year old father of four. Mr Avazov had a visit from our presidents friends security force (SNB), the photographs below detail the brutality and inhuman treatment our tax dollars subsidize, with the full knowledge of our president and his administration.



Muzafar Avazov, body showed signs of burns on the legs, buttocks, lower back and arms. Sixty to seventy percent of the body was burnt, according to official sources. Doctors who saw the body reported that such burns could only have been caused by immersing Avazov in boiling water. Those who saw the body also reported that there was a large, bloody wound on the back of the head, heavy bruising on the forehead and side of the neck, and that his hands had no fingernails.


WARNING

The pictures of Mr. Avazov's body are horrific and should only be viewed by a mature audience

11. a dictator disagrees with Bush, a democratic leader doesn't
So even if someone is elected, they can be a dictator, and even if they counted bodies instead of votes to get into office, they can be a democratic leader.

22. Bush's goons are probably taking notes...
but then our "interrogators" probably have all these methods for "extracting information" already.


It is truly truly insane, what humans do to each other. :cry:

When I hear bush ranting about religious extremists..is this what he means,torture all the people that disagree with his fucking CHRISTIAN extremist crusade and won't bow to CHRISTIAN full spectrum domination? Is this the kind of barbaric shit Bush wants to do to his critics, torture them to death just like Uzbekistan president?


Bush Said.."Some call this evil Islamic radicalism; others, militant Jihadism; still others, Islamo-fascism. Whatever it's called, this ideology is very different from the religion of Islam. This form of radicalism exploits Islam to serve a violent, political vision: the establishment, by terrorism and subversion and insurgency, of a totalitarian empire that denies all political and religious freedom. These extremists distort the idea of jihad into a call for terrorist murder against Christians and Jews and Hindus -- and also against Muslims from other traditions, who they regard as heretics."
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/10/20051006-3.html

What does an ignorant rabid, word mangling, fundie asshole like bush who claims and thinks god wants him to be president know about extremists? Nothing to him anyone who disagrees with him is a threat,Because Bush,..He is an extremist.And a psychopath.He has NO BUSINESS running a country.

So it's easy to see why bush has no guilt with promoting radical CHRISTIANS who willfully distort Christianity (Like LaHaye and Blackwater) When Bush makes up these lies as if they are assignments from god as an excuse to create a totalitarian empire and excuse torture in America he is extreme.Bush and his Uzbek buddy are turds dropped from the same asshole..And they are worthless as SHIT.

I bet the guys in their extremist mentality who boiled the victims alive really thought they were saving their evil fucked up nation from religious extremists too,Just like Bush thinks Christians need to crusade into Iran...Moderates who torture people they do not like are NOT moderates at all..They are psychopaths.Too many "leaders" are psychopaths.That is why they have NO SHAME in their hypocrisy.Enough of extremist posing as moderates calling pots and kettles black.Enough double standards!

According to information from the human rights group Memorial, Alimov was sentenced in 1999 to 16 years in prison, on a range of charges, including spreading religious "extremist" materials.(from the article linked in the OP)
