This is what Christians tell Forum 18 News Service, of which the Danish European Mission is a co-founder. The two were among four Christian men stopped at a checkpoint. "The police know his car and license plates, and it seems they had been informed that he was arriving in the city, so they waited for them there," said one Christian.
Gofur Namozov, police director of the Karmana Criminal Police, flatly denied that any of the four had been beaten or tortured. "We only questioned them about their multiple visas and foreign stamps in their passports," he claimed. There are indications that administrative cases have already been filed against the four men.
In another case, police and other officials have been showing up at the home of Christian Guljahon Kuzebayeva in Karshi almost daily in May, banging on the gate to the courtyard and trying to climb over the wall "like hooligans". She has been living in hiding since July 2014 to avoid arrest for her church activity.
