Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan Remain Worst of the Worst

Posted by lenkakoutnakova on 08/07/2009

Released on June 3 2009, the “Worst of the Worst. The World’s Most Repressive Societies 2009″ report by Freedom House lists two Central Asian states – Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan – as worst of the worst.

The report is based on “Freedom in the World” Freedom House’s Annual Global Survey of political rights and civil liberties.

What does this mean? The worst out of how many countries? Why again Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan and why not Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan?
