(Geneva, May 7, 2015) –The US, EU, and other governments should speak out about human rights abuses in Uzbekistan on the 10th anniversary of the Andijan massacre and renew their calls for accountability, Human Rights Watch said in a video released today.

The protesters had gathered to speak out against poverty, unemployment, and government repression, and to call on the government to respond to their plight.
