Sardorbek Irgashev was imprisoned for his religious belief and activity.
For several years prior to their arrest, Irgashev, his father, Mukhitdin Irgashev, and his brother, Otabek Irgashev, were under Russian and Uzbek surveillance both in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, and Yekaterinburg, Russia.
On May 9, 2015, Yekaterinburg police officers detained Irgashev. They deported him to Tashkent 11 days later.
In September 2015, a Tashkent Court sentenced Irgashev to 12 years, his father to 15 years, and his brother to 11 years in prison on unspecified charges. According to his mother, Zumrat Irgashev, all three were subjected to torture during pre-trial detention.
