Uzbekistan is one of the most brutal and corrupt dictatorships in the world. Like other Central Asian countries, the economy of this place is based on the export of cotton. To maintain competitive prices, the Uzbek dictators employ slave labor. In many cases, the Uzbek regime has even forced children to work in the cotton harvest. The same can be said of other countries in the region such as Tajikistan, Turkmenistan or the Xinjiang region of China.
However, in recent years, Uzbekistan has decided to end slavery. And it has done so without changing its political system. Shavkat Mirziyoyev's dictatorship remains as corrupt and oppressive as ever... The abolition of slavery in Uzbekistan is not motivated by humanitarian concerns. So... Why exactly have they ended slave labor? What reasons have motivated this decision? In this video, we tell you.
