’s autonomous province of Karakalpakstan last week, Uzbek authorities said on Monday — the worst bout of violence in the Central Asian nation in 17 years.
According to the prosecutor general’s office, 18 people died “from grave wounds” sustained during the clashes. Russia’s RIA news agency quoted the head of the National Guard as saying the toll included 14 civilians and four law enforcement officers. “Karakalpaks are not Uzbeks ... They have their own traditions, culture and law,” Aman Sagidullayev, Norway-based leader of the pro-independence Alga Karakalpakstan party, told Reuters, accusing the government of waging a “punitive operation.”
