Fifteen years after the Andijon massacre in Uzbekistan, rights activists have urged the Central Asian country’s leadership to openly investigate the killings of dozens of mainly peaceful demonstrators by security forces and armed soldiers in the eastern city.  The Sweden-based Civil Rights Defenders group said 15 years to the day of the massacre, that no state or army official was held responsible for “brutally” suppressing the civilian protest in the city of Andijon.”
