	Kyrgyzstan: Refugees in need of a safe haven - Amnesty International
		The Uzbekistani authorities have repeatedly claimed that the majority of those who went to Kyrgyzstan did not do so of their own accord but that they were used as human shields by armed insurgents who forced groups of women and children and young men at gun point to follow them out of Andizhan.
		The Prosecutor General of Kyrgyzstan, however, later reportedly agreed after he had talked to a delegation of prominent human rights activists and he declared that Kyrgyzstan would abide by its international obligations and that the 29 refugees would not be sent back to Uzbekistan until their refugee status determination had been completed.
		Thus this agreement requires that Kyrgyzstan respect and uphold the prohibition, under customary international law and international treaties to which it is a part, of sending a person to a state where they would be a risk of serious hrvs, including torture.

		The possibility of a revolutionary change in Kyrgyzstan is becoming visible, but the risk of an escalation of violence is clear and present.
		The waves of vehement protests in both north and south of Kyrgyzstan are best seen as the people’s desperate response to gross infringements of law by authorities, and to what is widely perceived as the usurpation of power by Akayev’s clan.
		A democratic outcome in Kyrgyzstan, which appears as an increasing possibility all the while as the risk of violence increases, would be beneficial not only for Kyrgyzstan itself.

	Kyrgyzstan: Uzbekistan in Pursuit of Refugees in Kyrgyzstan: A Follow-up Report - Amnesty International
		Kyrgyzstan is a party to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, and is therefore under an obligation not to return anyone to a state where they have a well-founded fear of persecution on grounds of race, religious belief, citizenship, social group or political convictions.(5)
		Amnesty International is concerned that the authorities of Kyrgyzstan failed to provide these citizens with protection, and there is evidence in some cases that they have fully assisted the government of Uzbekistan in pursuing them.
		The authorities in Kyrgyzstan are effectively not in a position to provide refugees physical protection from the Uzbekistani government forces they were fleeing, including protection from forcible return to Uzbekistan.
