Case Summary
Bakhtiyar Kadirbergenov is a blogger and the founder of Ayama.uz. He was detained in July 2022 following mass protests in Nukus, the capital of Karakalpakstan, which were triggered by proposed constitutional amendments that would have removed the region's autonomous status. His trial was transferred to the Bukhara Regional Court. Following an appeal, his sentence was changed to a non-custodial regime.
