Rovshen Yazmuhamedov detained
Radio Free Europe’s Turkmen service correspondent Rovshen Yazmuhamedov was detained in Turkmenistan and was last seen by his parents at a Turkmen detention center May 7.
No charges have been filed yet, and we have no further word on his fate. Amnesty International, Reporters Without Borders, Human Rights Watch have all appealed for Yazmuhamedov’s immediate release amid concerns about the possible risk of torture while in detention.
