Alleged arrest and risk of extradition of an Uzbek citizen facing religious
persecution in Uzbekistan. According to the information received, Mr.
Makhset Abdullayevich Djabbarbergenov, an Uzbek citizen, converted to
Christianity in 2000 and became an active house church leader in Nukus, the
capital of Karakalpakstan Republic. An arrest warrant was reportedly issued
against him on 20 August 2007. Mr. Djabbarbergenov fled to Kazakhstan to
avoid his arrest. On 26 February 2008, UNHCR granted refugee status to Mr.
Djabbarbergenov, however this was reportedly revoked later by the Ministry
of Migration of Kazakhstan. Mr. Djabbarbergenov appealed the decision but
the appeal was allegedly rejected on a number of occasions. The case is now
pending before the Supreme Court of Kazakhstan. Meanwhile, in February
2012 Mr. Djabbarbergenov was put on a wanted list of the Commonwealth of
Independent States and an arrest warrant with a view to his extradition was
issued against him. Reportedly, Mr. Djabbarbergenov was subsequently
detained by police officers in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and is currently waiting
for a decision regarding his extradition.
