Extra Bio Info:
Akbar Ikramov is imprisoned for his religious activity.
On April 17, 2000, the Margilon City Court sentenced Ikramov to eight years in prison on several criminal statutes, including “attempts to overthrow the constitutional order” (Art. 159 UCC), “illegal formation of public associations or religious organizations” (Art. 216 UCC), and an unspecified subsection of Article 244 UCC.
On February 18, 2008, just two months before his sentence was set to expire, the Navoi Region Court sentenced him to another six years and six days for “attempts to overthrow the constitutional order” (Art. 159 UCC).
On August 15, 2008, the Navoi Region Court sentenced him yet again to 17 years for “organizing a criminal group” (Art. 242 UCC), “attempts to overthrow the constitutional order” (Art. 159 UCC), and an unspecified subsection of Article 244 UCC. The court reportedly applied Article 34 to his case, labeling him a “dangerous recidivist" in order to lengthen his sentence.
Ikramov is currently being held in CEP 11 in Navoi.
