The preventive measure has been altered against the U.S. citizen, a native of the Kashkadarya’s Chirakchi district, Zokir Aliyev, who was detained at home on June 16 and was released on the 22nd. He was released on his own recognizance and to behave, with the investigation ongoing, a source said.
He entered Uzbekistan legally on a 90-day visa that he obtained at the Uzbek Embassy in the United States after receiving an official invitation from his relatives, who he hadn't seen for over two decades.
Aliyev has been on the wanted list since 205 for involvement in the activities of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan(IMU), which is recognized by many countries as a terrorist organization.
