In 2019, through a presidential decree 50,000 ha of land have been allocated to Indorama Agro cotton project in Uzbekistan that resulted in arbitrary termination of thousands of farmers’ land leases. Since then groups have reported severe harms inflicted on workers and communities by the company.

End this barbarism! Sheer cruelty of #Uzbek gov in the cases of bloggers Valijon Kalonov & Dildora Kakhimova. Instead of being released from wrongful detention in a psychiatric clinic, Valijon was transferred to a stricter one. Dildora's appeal to be reunited with her child was rejected. 🧵
