OHUN TO MU KURO NINU AKOKO YI:

On July 8, 2020, the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) submitted an Urgent Appeal to the Special Procedures of the United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner, requesting that it initiate an immediate formal investigation into Askarov's wrongful arrest, trumped-up charges, and ongoing detention.
Askarov had already spent 10 years imprisoned after having been wrongfully arrested, on fabricated charges, for his alleged role in the murder of a police inspector while Askarov was documenting the 2010 violence during Kyrgyzstan's ethnic conflict.
Human Rights Committee recognized Askarov as a victim of torture, ill-treatment, and unfair trial by the State of Kyrgyzstan and called for his immediate release.
