"U.S. envoy to Uzbekistan urges release of detained journalist"

It's tough ruling a country when your principal export is jihadi terrorists. Uzbekistan, until a few decades ago, was part of the old Soviet Union. Until a few years ago it was ruled with an iron fist. I urge current President Mirziyoyev to lighten up a bit. Look at the US. Twitter, FaceBook and Google have been successful at eliminating the publication of opinions they disagree with. It isn't necessary to put journalists in jail.
