Azamatzhon Ermakov is now back in Uzbekistan, where he is facing a real risk of being tortured and otherwise ill-treated. There is strong circumstantial evidence to indicate that he was abducted following his release from detention in Russia and put on a plane to Uzbekistan. Allegedly, he is currently being kept in pre-trial detention in Andizhan, eastern Uzbekistan.
