Concern over Uzbek journalist's murder

A US media freedom watchdog is concerned at a possible bias in Kyrgyzstan's investigation of the murder eight days ago of the journalist Alisher Saipov. The Committee to Protect Journalists has told Kyrgyzstan's ambassador to Washington that Saipov may have executed "simply because he was pursuing truth." Saipov, an ethnic Uzbek with Kyrgyz citizenship, reported for the US-funded Voice of America and Radio Free Europe and also ran an Uzbek-language newspaper, Siyosat (Politics). (Via Reuters)
