Nearly all provinces reporting children in the fields so far

Posted on October 8, 2009 by admin | No comments

Here is the list of Uzbekistan’s provinces from which we have reliable reports of the mass mobilization of children for cotton-picking, three weeks into the harvest:

Andijon (source: Fergana.ru)
Bukhara (source: researcher, identity withheld, uznews.net)
Fergana (source: researcher, identity withheld)
Jizzakh (source: researcher, identity withheld)
Kashkadaria (source: Radio Ozodlik/Uzbek service of Radio Liberty)
Khorezm (source: Fergana.ru)
Namangan (source: Uznews.net)
Samarkand (source: Uznews.net)
Surkhan Daria (source: Ezgulik human rights society)
Syr Daria (source: Fergana.ru)
Tashkent province (source: Fergana.ru)

To sum up, this leaves out only Navoi district (not too much cotton is grown there) and Karakalpakstan, from which we simply don’t have reports yet.
