[Ben] UZ - Unrest in Uzbekistan

Seems I have to reconsider my summer plans: Uzbekistan is seeing some full-scale riots in Ferghana Valley's Andjon:

At least one person was killed as Uzbek security forces fired today at protestors massed in the center of the eastern Uzbek city of Andijon.

The shooting comes after government officials had been negotiating with protestors in Andijon in the wake of earlier unrest the government said left nine people dead.

Protesters in the eastern Uzbek city of Andijon are demanding authorities release all people jailed on suspicion of belonging to an Islamic group known as Akramiya.

Apparently, everything is back under control, according to Zaman Daily
