no matches have really been announced. It would be an honour to be the
first-ever Arab female superstar to perform in the Middle East. That’s always
been a huge goal of mine.”
She also commented on facing legends like Lita, Mickie
James, and the Bella Twins in next week's Royal Rumble. Scroll down to reveal

Uzbekistan: Targeted For Being A Devout Muslim Woman,
Added To The Preventative Register
January 23, 2022
By Mushfig Bayram
Officials are harassing an 18-year-old Muslim from
Tashkent who wears the hijab. The family complained to the President and others
about her being added to the Preventative Register. Police told neighbours that
the authorities do not like her and warned them not to associate with her.
Muslim men who have had their beards forcibly shaved have also been added to
the Preventative Register. “Muslims are indignant that the state is attacking
their beards and hijab, which is a very private matter for each individual,”
one Muslim told Forum 18. After anti-beard and –hijab talks in colleges, a
Higher Education Ministry official claimed that “students will not be punished
for a beard or hijab”.
In 2020, a then-17-year-old Muslim woman began wearing
a hijab to her secondary school in the capital Tashkent. Officers then summoned
her to Yunusabad District Police Station, where they made her write a statement
about why she wore a hijab to school, the family told Forum 18. “She stopped
wearing it until after she finished school, and began wearing it after she
reached her 18th birthday.”
In December 2021 the family learned that Yunusabad
District Police had added the name of the then-18-year-old Muslim woman to the
regime’s Preventative Register. The family think it is “because our 18-year-old
relative wears the hijab, and recently began studying the Arabic language.”
The young woman is being followed in the street and
had photos taken of her without her consent. Police told neighbours that the
authorities do not like her, and warned them not to associate with her.
Relatives commented that “this additionally puts pressure on us, as we would
like normal relations with our neighbours” (see below).
The family has repeatedly asked for explanations and
complained to the local police, the President, the SSS secret police, Yunusabad
District Hokimiyyat (Administration), the District Administration’s Women’s
Committee, and the Interior Ministry. After the family complained to the State
Security Service (SSS) secret police and the Interior Ministry, unknown people
started calling and threatening the 18-year-old woman. They asked why she was
complaining and claimed that the SSS know “everything about her” and can have
her punished (see below).
The Presidential Administration referred the complaint
to Yunusabad Police, and Inspector Inomjon Tajiyev “spoke to the family members
rudely. He did not answer the family’s questions but asked why we complained to
the President,” the family told Forum 18. “Inspector Tajiyev took photos of the
18-year-old-woman and her relative without warning,” the family said. “Asked
why he is doing this, the Inspector answered that he needs to close this case
and report to the Presidential Administration” (see below).
An SSS secret police officer (who refused to give his
name) refused to answer Forum 18’s questions. “Some of the calls come from
mentally disturbed people,” he claimed, “and when we investigate we find that
their complaint was baseless.” Forum 18 insisted that the woman was not
mentally disturbed and that the SSS should answer the family’s questions (see
below).
On 4 January 2022 several plain-clothes officials
visited the 18-year-old woman’s Arabic Course and spoke to her teacher, without
giving their identity. “They showed the teacher photos of the 18-year-old woman
taken on the street, questioned and warned the teacher about her,” relatives
told Forum 18. The authorities “refuse to explain to us why they are putting
pressure on our family and our female relative. So far none of them have
answered us and no one is ready to listen to our complaints” (see below).
One such man, who lives in Yangiyul in Tashkent
Region, had his beard forcibly shaved twice in a police station between
September and November. Some men were put on the Preventative Register after
they were detained in November 2021, the man told Forum 18 on 10 January 2022.
“I am keeping my beard very short so I do not get into trouble with the police
again. I know many men who are either not growing beards or keeping them very
short for fear of punishment such as the humiliation of being taken to a police
station for warnings and forcible shaving” (see below).
One Muslim, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of
state reprisals, commented to Forum 18 that “Muslims are indignant that the
state is attacking their beards and hijab, which is a very private matter for
each individual.” Muslim human rights defenders have told Forum 18 that the
regime appears to have stopped the beard shaving campaign at the end of
December 2021 (see below).
Various higher education institutions arranged
meetings in mid-December 2021 where they threatened students with unspecified
punishments if they wore a hijab or beards to classes. No action has yet been
taken against students, and Forum 18 was told that the meetings were held on
the orders of the Higher and Secondary Specialised Education Ministry. The
Ministry claimed to Forum 18 that it had not ordered the warnings and that the
Institutes all independently decided at the same time to issue warnings (see
below).
Muslim prisoner of conscience Fazilkhoja Arifkhojayev
is still in detention awaiting a criminal trial date, Forum 18 was told on 17
January 2022. He was initially detained in June 2021 after criticising a
regime-appointed imam. Officials have repeatedly tortured him and denied him
medical care for his poor health.
In July 2021, a Tashkent court handed 47-year-old
Odilbek Khojabekov a five year labour camp sentence in absentia to punish him
for returning from haj pilgrimage with Islamic literature. A first trial gave
him a suspended sentence which was later removed for good probation behaviour.
The SSS secret police then pressured ordinary police, prosecutors, and others
into giving what the family insists is false testimony at a second hearing
which ordered him jailed.
Khojabekov is in hiding fearing for his safety. The
Supreme Court received his appeal on 12 December 2021 and must hear the appeal
within six months from then, his family told Forum 18 on 17 January 2022.
In 2020, a then-17-year-old Muslim woman began wearing
a hijab to her secondary school in Tashkent. Police officers then summoned her
to Yunusabad District Police Station, where they made her write a statement
about why she wore a hijab to school, the family told Forum 18. “She stopped
wearing it until after she finished school, and began wearing it after she
reached her 18th birthday.”
From 15 August 2018, a government decision imposed a
secular dress code in all educational institutions. This meant a de facto ban
on female students covering their heads by wearing a hijab.
In December 2021 the family learned that Yunusabad
District Police had added the name of the then-18-year-old Muslim woman to the
regime’s Preventative Register. The family think it is “because our 18-year-old
relative wears the hijab, and recently began studying the Arabic language”.
The Koran is written in Arabic, and this Arabic text
is the only text used in Islamic worship. So many Muslims consider that a
knowledge of Arabic is essential to understand Islam.
The regime adds Muslims who regularly attend mosques
and who are thought to be influential to the Preventative Register. This
subjects people to a variety of “preventative measures” including: preventative
talks; official warnings; “social rehabilitation”; referral for compulsory
treatment; and administrative supervision.
“Our 18-year-old female relative noticed that, after
she began attending an Arabic course, unknown individuals followed her on the
street and photographed her without her consent,” the family told Forum 18.
Neighbours in Tashkent’s Yunusabad District told the
family that local police officer Parakhat Bekmuradov has “gone around our
neighbours warning them about our family and our 18-year-old female relative”.
“We are afraid that the authorities are collecting
false evidence on her to punish her,” the family said. “This has put
psychological pressure on our family. Police told our neighbours in the mahalla
[local district] that the authorities do not like our 18-year-old relative, and
warned them not to associate with her.” Relatives commented that “this
additionally puts pressure on us, as we would like normal relations with our
neighbours”.
On 23 December 2021, the family called local police
officer Bekmuradov, asking him why police are following their female relative
and why they included her in the Preventative Register. Officer Bekmuradov
“spoke very rudely over the phone and told us that we need to come and write a
statement why we are complaining about police. He threatened that they will
open an administrative case against us.”
On 25 December a relative wrote a complaint via
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s website, asking why the family has not been
warned that their female relative was included in the Preventative Register,
why the police put pressure on the neighbours not to associate with the family,
and why their female relative has been followed and had photos taken of her
without her consent.
The Presidential Administration referred the complaint
to Yunusabad Police, who told local police officer Bekmuradov to “talk to us”.
Officer Bekmuradov called a family member on 25 December and invited them for a
talk in his office. “The relative told him that they do not trust him, and will
only talk to his Chief.”
On 29 December 2021, Inspector Inomjon Tajiyev of
Yunusabad District Police Station No. 2, to whom Officer Bekmuradov reports, by
phone invited the 18-year-old-woman and a relative to his office.
“Inspector Tajiyev adamantly defended Officer
Bekmuradov, and spoke to the family members rudely. He did not answer the
family’s questions but asked why we complained to the President,” the family
told Forum 18. “Inspector Tajiyev took photos of the 18-year-old-woman and her
relative without warning. Asked why he is doing this, the Inspector answered
that he needs to close this case and report to the Presidential Administration.”
Later on 29 December 2021, the family called the State
Security Service (SSS) secret police to ask them to investigate the case and
police inaction. The SSS called back the same day and asked why the family
complained to the President. “They did not ask what happened to us, but kept
asking why we wrote a complaint,” relatives said.
“An unknown woman began disturbing our 18-year-old
female relative immediately after this. The unknown woman calls from an
unidentified number, and calls our relative names and uses obscene words about
her and her Arabic teacher,” the family stated. The unknown woman told the
18-year-old woman that a relative working for the SSS secret police knows
everything about her. The caller also said that she can have the 18-year-old
woman punished, without specifying what punishment.
“The unknown woman keeps calling, sending audio or
text messages almost every night. She demands that the 18-year-old woman must
stop wearing the hijab and attending Arabic courses.” The family think that the
unknown caller might be an SSS secret police agent.
The duty officer (who refused to give his name) who
answered the phone at SSS secret police headquarters in Tashkent refused to
answer Forum 18’s questions, or put it through to any responsible officials.
“Your words are just words, and we receive so many
calls during the day,” the duty officer told Forum 18 on 12 January 2022. “Some
of the calls come from mentally disturbed people, and when we investigate we
find that their complaint was baseless.” Forum 18 insisted that the woman was
not mentally disturbed and that the SSS should answer the family’s questions.
The officer then refused to talk more.
On 4 January 2022, several plain-clothes officials
visited the 18-year-old woman’s Arabic Course and spoke to her teacher, without
giving their identity. “They showed the teacher photos of the 18-year-old woman
taken on the street, questioned and warned the teacher about her,” relatives
told Forum 18.
“She decided not to apply for a university as we cannot
pay for it, but decided to take two different Arabic courses,” relatives
explained. “The 18-year-old woman’s teachers in both places were visited by
officials.” The teachers were asked what she does in her spare time, who her
friends are, and whether she studies the Koran.
Inspector Tajiyev on 12 January claimed to Forum 18
that “neither Bekmuradov nor I were rude to her”. Tajiyev claimed that the
18-year-old woman’s name is not included in the Preventative Register, and
denied that police visited the 18-year-old woman’s Arabic teachers and
questioned them about her. “I do not know of such facts,” he claimed.
Asked why the police will not investigate the
18-year-old woman’s case properly to find those who follow and make threats to
her, Inspector Tajiyev replied “Let her complain to us in writing.” When Forum
18 pointed out that the family had complained to the Presidential
Administration which had referred her complaint to him at Yunusabad Police, he
replied: “I am not obliged to explain to you everything over the phone. She can
complain about it.”
On 6 January 2022, relatives submitted in person
written complaints to President Mirziyoyev’s Office, Tashkent Police, Yunusabad
District Hokimiyyat (Administration), and the District Administration’s Women’s
Committee, the family told Forum 18.
As these complaints were not even acknowledged, on 9
January the family made a written complaint to the Interior Ministry’s Crime
Prevention Department, which oversees the work of the local police officers. An
official of the Department called Anvar (who refused to give his full name)
told a relative that within 10 days they would receive an answer.
“The very next day on 10 and on 11 January several
unknown male and female individuals called our 18-year-old relative,” the
family said. The callers did not give their names and asked her why she keeps
complaining about the authorities. When other family members answered the phone
the callers immediately ended the calls.
An Interior Ministry official (who refused to give his
name) put the phone down when Forum 18 asked on 12 January to speak to Anvar of
the Crime Prevention Department or another responsible official. All subsequent
calls to them on the same day went unanswered.
The authorities “refuse to explain to us why they are
putting pressure on our family and our female relative”, the family stated. “So
far none of them have answered us and no one is ready to listen to our
complaints.”
The regime is hostile to independent expressions of
Islam, including wearing a beard or the hijab. From September 2021 police
nationwide detained on the street men with long beards and forcibly shaved
them. One such man, who lives in Yangiyul in Tashkent Region, had his beard
forcibly shaved twice in a police station between September and November.
Police put some men on the Preventative Register after
they detained them in November 2021, the man told Forum 18 on 10 January 2022.
“In January 2022 police came to one friend’s home to make sure he lived at the
same address he had given the police when he was detained in November. The
police put his name on the Preventative Register.” He did not name the man or
give other details for fear of state reprisals.
The man himself told Forum 18 that “I am keeping my
beard very short so I do not get into trouble with the police again. I know
many men who are either not growing beards or keeping them very short for fear
of punishment such as the humiliation of being taken to a police station for
warnings and forcible shaving.”
Major Jamol Akhmedov, Deputy Chief of Yangiyul Police,
refused like other officers to explain to Forum 18 on 13 January why police
detained men and forcibly shaved their beards.
While the anti-hijab and anti-beard campaign was
taking place, state-controlled Zor TV on 14 December 2021 broadcast a concert
where it blurred the heads of women in hijabs and men wearing beards. The TV
station publicly claimed that blurring the concert footage was an internal
decision, but Zor employees (who refused to give their names) refused to
comment on the issue to Forum 18 on 17 January 2022.
One Muslim, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of
state reprisals, commented to Forum 18 that “Muslims are indignant that the
state is attacking their beards and hijab, which is a very private matter for
each individual.”
Muslim human rights defenders have told Forum 18 that
the regime appears to have stopped the beard shaving campaign at the end of
December 2021.
The State Pedagogical Institutes in Jizzakh, Kokand
and Navoi regions, as well as Samarkand State University, arranged meetings in
mid-December 2021 where they threatened students with unspecified punishments
if they wore a hijab or beards to classes.
In one video of a meeting, Bakhtiyor Urinov, Navoi
State Pedagogical Institute’s Deputy Dean of Youth Affairs of the Natural
Sciences Faculty, on 16 December 2021 is heard claiming that “those who wear
longer beards look like a monkey (..), their beards are a breeding place for
viruses and microbes (..)” He also warned the male students that they “may end
up in prison as an extremist.”
Urinov also told female students not to wear hijabs to
classes. “From next Monday, all of you come to the classes without beards and
hijabs,” he stated.
“It was not my decision to talk to the students but it
is the decision of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialised Education,”
Urinov told Forum 18 on 13 January. Asked why he called male students with
longer beards monkeys, he claimed: “I got nervous and could not control what I
said.” He refused to discuss his comments further.
Sarvar Nazarqosimov, Vice-Rector for Youth Affairs of
Jizzakh State Pedagogical Institute, claimed to Forum 18 on 13 January that
warnings about beards and hijabs were “not a warning but a discussion”. He
refused to explain why the Institute decided to “discuss” the issue with students,
or who had ordered the “discussion”.
Human rights defenders told Forum 18 that no action
has been taken between 16 December 2021 and 18 January 2022 against students
who wore the hijab or beards. No students are known to have been intimidated
into not wearing a hijab or beard.
The Higher and Secondary Specialised Education
Ministry referred Forum 18 on 13 January to Shukhrat Urumbayev, Head of the
International Section. He insisted that the Ministry had not ordered the
warnings and that the Institutes all independently decided at the same time to
issue warnings. He would not explain why so many made the same decision at the
same time, or why institutions had told Forum 18 it was done on the orders of
the Ministry.
Urumbayev then claimed that “our Minister said that
hijab or beards cannot be banned. We can only recommend to our female students
to tie a head cover around the neck in a different style, but it is their
decision whether or not to follow it.” He also claimed that whether or not male
students grow a beard “is their individual decision”. He then claimed that
“students will not be punished for a beard or hijab”.

Afghanistan: UN pressures Taliban over missing women’s
activists
By: Deutsche Welle
January 23, 2022
The United Nations said it was concerned about the
disappearance of two Afghan women’s rights activists. Taman Zaryabi Paryani and
Parawana Ibrahimkhel were reportedly abducted from their homes by the Taliban
on Wednesday night.
“We urge Taliban to provide information on their
whereabouts & to protect rights of all Afghans,” the UN’s Assistance
Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said in a statement on Twitter.
The video shows a visibly scared Paryani, as men
claiming to be from the Taliban’s intelligence department, pound on the front
door.
A witness told the AP news agency that ten armed men
had carried out the nighttime raid. The witness said that four people were
taken, including Paryani.
The Taliban have dismissed Paryani ‘s video as a fake,
with a spokesman for police in Kabul, Mobin Khan, saying it was a “manufactured
drama.”
On Monday, a panel of UN human rights experts said the
Taliban’s leadership was “institutionalising large-scale and systemic
gender-based discrimination and violence against women and girls.”
According to the panel, there have been a series of
restrictive measures that target women since the militant group’s takeover of
Afghanistan.
“Today, we are witnessing the attempt to steadily
erase women and girls from public life in Afghanistan, including in
institutions and mechanisms that had been previously set up to assist and
protect those women and girls who are most at risk,” the panel of experts said
in a statement.
On Friday, two local employees of NGOs operating in
rural Afghanistan told the AFP news agency that the Taliban threatened to shoot
them if they did not wear burqas.
The Taliban had given its assurances they would uphold
women’s rights shortly after seizing power. The Islamist group has continued
trying to garner recognition from the global community. To date, no country has
recognised its government.

Police Resort To Force To Disperse Women Protesters In
Tando Allahyar, Hyderabad
Mohammad Hussain Khan
January 23, 2022
HYDERABAD: The Tando Allahyar police on Saturday
applied baton charge to disperse women protesters who agitated against the
arrest of their family members following a Friday night arson attack on a ‘15
police helpline’ centre in the city.
The police action invited a strong reaction from the
Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan leadership. Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad
Ali Shah also took notice of the use of force by police against the women and
asked the Hyderabad DIG, Pir Mohammad Shah, for an inquiry.
Tando Allahyar police have registered three cases
against Asif Khanzada — presumably brother and complainant of Bholu Khanzada
murder case — and many others at the A-Section police station of Tando Allahyar.
An unspecified number of suspects were picked up.
On Friday night, an arson attack on the police centre
occurred after the funeral of MQM-P activist, Khalilur Rehman alias Bholu
Khanzada, who was gunned down at the gate of sessions court earlier in the day.
The centre is located near the main bus stop, Liaquat
gate. Around 10 motorcycles and a private car present inside were torched. The
car (BRA-904) belonged to a policeman, Altaf Rind.
The police claimed that intruders took away the
motorbikes (case properties) and official instruments including charging
devices of walkie-talkie sets.
A total of 60 suspects were nominated in the FIR and
most of them were common in the three FIRs. About 25-30 suspects remained
unidentified in one case. The number of unidentified suspects was not mentioned
in the other case.
The arson attack prompted police to conduct raids on
the houses of suspects. Pre-dawn raids continued till Saturday afternoon with
police trying to break open doors of some houses. Raids were conducted in Unnar
Para, Khanzada Colony, Islamia Mohallah and Hyderabad road.
They raised slogans against police highhandedness. In
order to disperse the women protesters, the police started beating up them with
sticks videos of which went viral and reached government functionaries.
“In fact male members were taking shelter behind women
which is a common trend in rural areas in such cases,” said a policeman
pictured in such videos. He said that police tried to disperse them. “Some
looted gadgets were recovered from suspects’ families,” he claimed.
Sindh Information Minister Saeed Ghani said that the
CM had taken notice of police action against women in Tando Allahyar. He quoted
the CM as saying that such attitude could not be tolerated. He regretted that
the incident was being politically exploited.
DIG Shah rushed to Tando Allahyar to bring the
situation under control and met PPP leader and ex-MNA Abdul Sattar Bachani,
MQM-P MNA Sabir Kaimkhani, MPA Nasir Qureshi, Tando Allahyar SSP Rukhsar
Khuhawar. Mr Bachani said after the meeting that innocent persons would be
released but miscreants would be dealt with according to law.
MQM-P lawmakers met heirs of deceased. MNA Salahuddin
told journalists that Murad Ali Shah should act as the CM of “Sindh” and not
“Sindhis” alone to ensure justice.
MQM-P coordination committee convener Dr Khalid
Maqbool Siddiqui, speaking at a press conference in Karachi, condemned police
for using force against women and demanded the arrest of “terrorists”. He also
demanded an end to the police operation.
