  • Open Letter to Czech President Miloš Zeman on the Upcoming Visit of Uzbek President Islam Karimov
    Open letter to Czech President Miloš Zeman on the upcoming visit of Uzbek President Islam Karimov (to be sent to president’s office on Monday, 10/2, and made public Wednesday 12/2) Dear President Zeman, We are writing to express our surprise and deep concern that you have invited Uzbekistan’s president, Islam Karimov, on an official visit to Prague on 20‐22 February. As the leader of one of the most repressive governments in the world, President Karimov is not someone we would expect to be invited for such meetings. In fact, he is rightly shunned by most western leaders, particularly after the Andijan massacre of 2005, in which his security forces shot into crowds of mostly peaceful protestors in that city, killing hundreds. Between 2005 and 2009, the Czech Republic, along with the other members of the European Union (EU), put targeted sanctions on the Uzbek government in connection with President Karimov’s persistent refusal to allow an independent international investigation into the killings in Andijan. For nearly 25 years, Karimov has ruled over a country in which torture is systematic in police custody and in prisons, where dozens of human rights defenders, journalists and other peaceful activists are held on politically‐motivated charges and thousands of people are locked up simply for practicing their religion ‐ Christians as well as Muslims. The government tolerates no freedom of speech or assembly. Every year, the government closes hundreds of schools and other public services to force over a million children and adults to pick cotton for little or no pay.

  • From Roses to Bullets: the Rise and Decline of Post-Soviet Colour Revolutions
    From roses to bullets: the rise and decline of post-Soviet colour revolutions Donnacha Ó Beacháin and Abel Polese Donnacha Ó Beacháin is Lecturer and Marie Curie Fellow at the School of Law and Government, Dublin City University Abel Polese is Marie Curie Fellow at the Institute of Geography, University of Edinburgh From the book: Uwe Backes, Tytus Jaskulowski, and Abel Polese (eds.) Totalitarianism and Transformation: Central and Eastern Europe between Socialist Legacy and Democratic Transformation (Totalitarismus und Transformation Defizite der Demokratiekonsolidierung in Mittel- und Osteuropa) (Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, Göttingen, 2009) pp. 63-100. 1 Civic and political actions aimed at achieving political change and removing unpopular presidents occurred in several post-communist states between 1998 and 2006 would seem to have many elements in common. All regime changes were attempted using non-violent protest methods and a political opposition, assisted by a vibrant civil society, popular support, and Western aid succeeded in either replacing or, at least, challenging a political monopoly. In some cases, these “colour revolutions” have produced significant changes, notably in Slovakia, Serbia, Georgia, and Ukraine; in other cases change has been less visible but has nonetheless affected society and revitalized the political opposition as in Belarus and Azerbaijan or, to a lesser extent, in Russia or Kazakhstan. Little has changed, however, in countries like Turkmenistan or Uzbekistan. While it would be wrong to assume that the phenomenon is limited to post- socialist countries – similar events have occurred elsewhere as in Nepal 2006 and Myanmar 2007 – the very nature of post-communist countries, whose political and economic structures were similar at the end of the cold war, provides good grounds for comparative analyses.
