Yusuf Juma

I want to post this blog entry in support of Yusuf Juma, a poet from Uzbekistan, who has recently been imprisoned by the Uzbek authorities for his opinions and writings. The following articles are about the poet, and are deeply shocking:

I would just like to express my warm support for Juma's cause, and hope the situation can be resolved and he will be released as soon as possible.
