The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) announces an open competition for organizations interested in submitting applications for projects that increase transparency in citizens’ rights to due process. Uzbekistan’s constitution and law prohibit arbitrary arrest and detention and provide for the right of any person to challenge the lawfulness of his or her arrest or detention in court. Additionally, by law a judge must review any decision to arrest accused individuals or suspects. Judges grant arrest warrants in most cases. Detention without formal charges is limited to 48 hours, although a prosecutors may request that a judge extend detention an additional 48 hours, after which the person must be charged or released. Judges typically grant such requests, and the judge who issues such an extension is often the same one who presided over the trial, which creates incentives to cover up violations. The arresting authority is required to notify a relative of a detainee of the detention and to question the detainee within 24 hours of arrest. Visibility into arrest procedures and treatment of detainees is low, even for family members of detainees and Uzbekistani civil society engaged on the issue of due process. 2 Through this award, DRL aims to support the safe, secure, and professional collection of credible information on political detainees by Uzbekistani media, Civil Society Organizations, (CSOs) and human rights defenders, for human rights reporting and advocacy and to improve the capacity of Uzbekistani CSOs to advocate for transparency and improved conditions in detention facilities.
