A few months ago, 23 former political prisoners were tried in Tashkent. It was found that 15 of them were classified as "extremely dangerous repeat offenders" and were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 7 to 14 years, to be served in a special regime detention center. The remaining eight were sentenced to house arrest for up to 5 years.
