SOAS Academic Shirin Akiner is Uzbekistan Regime Agent

[kazakhseven]

Shirin Akiner has lost all her credibility and looks like she is in the pay of Karimov. Unbelievable.

[elmarik]

Akiner hanim,

It was not only armed rebellion, there were more unarmed civillians thant armed terrorists. That is one. The second part of the issue is that, there is no chance to have peaceful demonstrations in Uzbekistan. Holding public meetings without the sanction of the authorities is illegal and obviously no fool asks the authorities to sanction an anti-government protest in that part of the world. You must remember these things.

[selimkalan]

china and russia told uzbekhstan. Behind this interference of rebellin are Usa and England. So uzbekh government want to shov their power as killing uzbekh people.

[selimkalan]

actually prisons contidions in uzbekhstan is very awfull. And no human rights in uzbekhstan. But this situation is not importan western goverments who want to work with uzbekhstan government. ıf Karimov reach agrement with usa and england. you won't see this type of tv programs. This type of programs count are not more.

[selimkalan]

British govermnet give gift to policeman who kill by mistake the brazilian innocent people. l think it is not very important mistaken killing. But giving gift tragedy.

[selimkalan]

Remember this. America and England need work to together with uzbekhstan(with Karimov) and in usa and England a lot of specialist work for goverment. A lot of dictator relation are very good with usa because they work with usa. but when dictators don't want to with usa. A lot of people remember human righnts. in saudi arabia also one of the dictatorship but this is not problem for usa.

[rarelibra]

looks to me like they got what was coming to them - armed resistance to any government will be met with much more armed reply.

[AlisonStyles]

Actually, there was no 'armed resistance': they were peaceful demonstrators, just as we see in political protests in the West.

Read the Human Rights Watch report 'Burying the Truth: Uzbekistan Rewrites the Story of the Andijan Massacre'

Stop peddling Uzbek regime lies that attempt to justify mass murder.

PS Are you Dr Shirin Akiner in disguise?

hmmm

[mrsquonks]

do you fucking know what was happening in the refugee camp in Jalallabad? They were bringing people's families, fathers and mothers, were killing them just to make those Uzbeks come back or see their patents and chealdren dying. whoever thinks that Karimov did ANY good to Uzbekistan, is just a moron with NO clue bout our, Uzbek life. And this woman is a profeccor in an academy, my god, it is a bullshit!!!

[mrsquonks]

oh my fucking god!!!! whoever says that he has Uzbek blood and supports Karimov is nothing but stupid faggot. Jesus, how can people listen to this, i have been on the Bobur squire 3 days after that massacre, i have seen all my eyes! there were more than 1000 dead bodies, blood all over the northern side, nothing left from the theatre building etc. there were a LOT of peaple who were shot on the border with Lyrghistan by OUR, UZBEK army-men. Kyrghyzs were protecting our people.

[tujjortoshkandiy]

bbc uzbek reports that she is one of the very few foreign analysts allowed to carry out post andijan events investigations. this raises a question: why she?! why dozens of other HRW or UN analysts were rejected but she was only one who was granted an entry. So I think she is bullshitting everyone and the title for the post seems fair to me...

heyyyyy...uzALEXANDER?? was ist HAHAHA????? du lächst,wenn die Leute sterben.. scheisse

[uzALEXANDER]

HAHAHA

[zainik0710]

she seems very sympathetic to the brutal dictator Karimov - sounds she is in a very cosy relationship with him...

[tumaris]

fuck this bitch she has got idea what life and policy is like in uzbekistan, she is most like ly being paid by somebody. Le t her go and live in Uzbekistan raise her voice than she will know

[Hickey66]

Shirin Akiner is being paid off by someone. Sounds like she's had an English education. Pay back time?

[usu2020]

Akiner u ar fu*king bitch, asshole, what the fu*k ar u talkin about... it seems money did his "job"...

[8799321]

Im born and reared in Tashkent, now im study and working in Moscow, im real dont give a fuck on the Karimov politics and on the all what happened in Andijan, because uzbek government propagandize stupid ideology. And guilty, i think, impertinent cops. In Uzbekistan can prosper only: COPS(motherfuckers, hate them), tradespeople and whores. Unemployment and foregoings statements, compel the people to rebel.

[ZeroXtasy]

...but aside from that please don't let this taitn anyone's view of SOAS it is one of the best universities in terms of foreign affairs, anthropology and the promotion of human rights, and this woman is obviously just a twat. This is like monty python's argument clinic!

[ZeroXtasy]

I am a SOAS student and i'm surprised because anyone who has ever been within a mile of SOAS will know that it campaigns for the rights and humanity of anything up from atoms! although to be honest there are always certain professor that are complete tw*ts and SOAS has a lot of people that seem to think they are higher beings or something...

[amigo0660]

When I mean Uzbeks, i meant certainly the Uzbek government...

[amigo0660]

This Akiner bitch was obviously bribed by uzbeks. She's either a witch or a bitch, just one of those....

[explorubus]

there is no doubt that this was a well-organized preplanned uprising against a well-functioning government, with the outside help to create an afghanistan-like situation where a puppet regime bows down to its western masters.

[thermometer88]

"a puppet regime bows down to its western masters"

This is the status quo in Uzbekistan.

[uzabo]

I am shocked. I think she could, at least be more respectful to those who lost their lives or loved ones. I wonder if she would be this cold if her family loose only one member let along "around 200..." as she so coldly remarked.

[alphaion]

I hope to once meet her

[Dauod]

The woman has absolutely no credibility - and is givng a bad impression of the type of accademics that work in SOAS. Uzbekistan it seems is being prepared to play a local lackey of the west in their plans to move deeper and deeper in Central Asia.

[Graham88899]

I am student who's just started here in London in SOAS last year. I am appalled that a lecturer is supporting Dictators.

As someone of partially Asian origin I feel intimidated there are teachers on my campus who defend pure barbarism against humanity.

I have written SOAS Director about this -- but no reply.

I think of all the people slaughtered in cold blood by the army of Karimov and how Shirin Akiner justifies it. It horrifies me. I feel ashamed to be a student at this college.

[archimedus]

she is corrupted and traitor

[disser900]

ive seen tashkent and know the real truth I opened my eyes some things karimov did good some not. but in america there is no freedom it is all lies i have seen know everything .

[disser900]

oh and how do people in america or england work like bicicles and all go to rent work and stay home no life or no freedom in america or england? now you are english you do not have uzbek blood nahuy edi

[disser900]

you do not have uzbek blood

[OfficerBuffoni]

Shirin Akiner is full of it. Uzbekistan is under a horrible reign of terror that kills and tortures civilians and she was defending the fact that they, according to her "only killed 200-250 people"?

I agree,this women is a disgrace!

[dingosingo]

Shirin Akiner is a disgrace to academia - little more than a propagandist and a deeply offensive liar. Her university should sack her NOW.

Readers may wish to complain to SOAS University about her.

[bahonya]

urod, zavali ebalo svoe suka yobannaya

[disser900]

lol look at those ugly muslim women thats why I hate fucking muslims they wear that ugly shit and muslim women are ugly theyre fucked up

[sahlerjava]

[farabestman1982]

disser900 you fucked up motherfucker you racist,no education ,no respect to others,even if i am muslim but i always respect christians and jews because everybody have differt belives ... read book and get education be nice to everyone or burn in hell you son of the bitch.

[disser900]

this is bs like in iraq they invaded they want to control the world police it the english and americans now they want another country we dont want english or americans in uzbekistan at all

[dingosingo]

In fact, no one here is advocating the US-UK imperialist invasion of Uzbekistan. The truth is that the regime of Karimov, which both you and Dr Shirin Akiner of SOAS support, is actually in bed with the White House and Tony Bliar.

[cologne227]

uzbekistan doesnt want america or england to stick their noses or hear see from them.You police the world.and try control it.you enemy

[lifeasahandbag]

wrong—America doesn't want to see this because Americans like to think everything is alright.

[krassavchik21]

Thanks for Channel 4 to let the world know with a true pictures.
