The Resume

    (1967- )
    Born in Uzbekistan
    Nephew of Uzbek president Islam Karimov
    Journalist critical of the Karimov regime, especially when it comes to Andijan
    Last seen in Jizzakh (September 12, 2006)
    Said to be confined in a mental hospital in Samarkand

Why he might be annoying:

    His name nearly rhymes like a bad word.
    His disappearance clearly shows the absence of human rights in Uzbekistan.
    Does criticizing your own uncle feel so embarrassing for him?

Why he might not be annoying:

    His father (Islam Karimov’s older brother) died in a car crash (1989).
    He got beaten up by some thugs while visiting his mother in a Jizzakh hospital (2004).
    He and his friend Ulugbek Khaidarov refused to accept bribes by the governor of Jizzakh to switch sides.
    Being kept in a mental hospital makes his health condition a precarious issue because the staff might give him drugs that are meant for the mentally ill.
    His own family is forbidden to visit him.
