Speech by Paul Hoffman Chair of Amnesty International 3rd World Social Forum Porto Alegre Friends, It is a great personal privilege to have this opportunity to share Amnesty International's views on globalization. We speak, of course, not of the globalisation of trade and investment but of the globalization of human rights. In my work as a human rights lawyer in the United States I have devoted the last few years to bringing lawsuits against large multinational corporations for their complicity in human rights violations around the world. So it is also a personal pleasure to be able to attend this Social Forum where so many of you are engaged in the same struggle to make corporations accountable in the different world we are seeking . I stand before you today representing more than one million Amnesty International members from around the world. Our members have fought against political imprisonment, torture and extra-judicial murder for forty years. We want these threats to human freedom to end but we also mobilize to end discrimination, extreme poverty and the exploitation of the most vulnerable in our societies. In short, we want a different world.

Voice of human rights advocates ::: Human Rights ::: February 26, 2004 UZBEKISTAN: ANOTHER HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDER DETAINED Source: HRW Uploaded/Updated: Uzbek authorities have arrested another human rights defender on what appear to be politically motivated charges, continuing Uzbekistan’s crackdown on civil society, Human Rights Watch said today. On February 16, police in the central Uzbek city of Jizzakh arrested Muidinjon Kurbanov, chairman of a regional branch of the Human Rights Society of Uzbekistan (HRSU) and of a coalition of human rights organizations. Kurbanov is also chairman of the Jizzakh province branch of the opposition political party, Birlik (Unity). He was also arrested in 1998 on trumped-up narcotics charges, threatened with charges of religious extremism, and tortured in custody, leaving him permanently injured. “Muidinjon Kurbanov is the latest victim in Uzbekistan’s relentless campaign to silence the voices of human rights defenders and the political opposition,” said Rachel Denber, acting executive director of Human Rights Watch’s Europe and Central Asia Division. “Given that the last time he was arrested the authorities injured him horribly, we are concerned he is at grave risk of torture. He should be released immediately pending an investigation of the charges against him.” Last month police questioned Kurbanov about his human rights and political work, which suggests a political motivation to his arrest. On January 5, officers from the Jizzakh Province Department for Anti-Terrorism and Narcotics appeared at Kurbanov’s home, took him to the provincial Department of Internal Affairs, and questioned him for several hours about his activities in the two “unregistered” and “illegal” organizations. He had to reappear for further interrogation the next day, following a warrant.
