BBC World va Euro News (juda qisqa) xabarlarda ko'rsatib o'tgandi kecha!

BBC ning qisqacha tahlil qilib, birozdan so'ng Craig Murray bilan qisqa interview qilishdi. U yaxshi gapirdi, bu mahkamalarni Stalin zamoni sudlarining aynisi ekanligini takidladi. Keyin biroz umumiy vaziyat, O'zbekistoon va Rusiya, O'zbekistoon va G'arb aloqalri kabilar haqida ham gapirishdi!

I don't think trial was fair, well then again that's Uzb you can't expect much. No official investigation of what is really happened in Andijan. Everything was a bit of show, people already knew what court gonna decide. Media just turned into brainwashing machine telling people about all the crap about 'democracy' and 'security'.
