The regime of president-for-life Saparmurat Niazov is one of the most repressive in the world. It crushes independent thought, controls virtually all aspects of civic life, and actively isolates the country from the outside world. The perverse cult of personality around President Niazov dominates public life and the education system. Civil society, already on the brink of extinction, this year took another blow with a new law criminalizing involvement in unregistered nongovernmental or religious groups. Although 2004 saw the abolition of exit visas and a slight mitigation of the laws on religious freedom and nongovernmental organizations (NGOS), in practice the rights to freedom of movement and conscience are severely restricted. Indeed, the human rights situation in Turkmenistan today is noticeably worse than it was a few years ago..

UN Should Respond to Turkmen Abuses
NGOs Call for UN Resolution on Turkmenistan...
You are doubtless fully aware of the situation for human rights in Turkmenistan. The extent of Turkmenistan▓s non-compliance with the international human rights instruments to which it is party is appalling. There are no free media, and no freedom of expression, assembly or association. No election in Turkmenistan has been free and fair. There are numerous people imprisoned on politically-motivated charges, after grossly unfair trials; often their relatives have been deprived of homes and livelihoods as collective punishment. Torture is widespread, and prison conditions can be deadly. National minorities are subject to blatant discrimination, and religious freedom is curbed. Individuals lose their homes, without adequate compensation, to the president▓s grandiose urban remodeling schemes or to gratuitous demolitions.

Turkmenistan: Human Rights Concerns for the 61st Session of the U.N. Commission on Human Rights....
Turkmen opposition figures were either driven into exile in the early 1990s or imprisoned. Most of those jailed were later released, but do not dare speak out again. The open expression of alternative points of view is practically impossible and can even result in imprisonment or forced institutionalization in a psychiatric hospital. No independent human rights organizations can operate in Turkmenistan. There is no free media: the government subjects all newspaper outlets to prepublication censorship, has banned most Russian-language media, and has introduced measures to limit access to the Internet.
