Andrei Kudryashov, writing in Ferghana.Ru says that “Black Hundreds” are lynching people in Karimov’s home oblast:
Confrontation between the authorities of Uzbekistan and the opposition is taking dramatic forms. Human rights activists and the opposition claim that Dzhizak Khokim [governor] Ubaidulla Yamankulov set up something like a Black Hundred or Death Squad to handle his political antagonists. The units comprise young athletes, lumpens, unemployed, and hookers.
Is this rumor based on fact, or “mish-mish”?

There have been problems recently. And, Yamankulov’s a prick in my book.
Prostitutes in death-squads? Is that a joke?
