Syntax1985 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Dear friends, Uzbekistan's dictator is forcing doctors to cut out women's uteruses without their knowledge or consent to control birth rates. It’s a hideous and brutal attack on women by a US-backed dictator. Call on US Secretary of State Clinton, a champion for women's rights, to immediately cut off her support for the dictator. Click below to sign: Uzbekistan's dictator is forcing doctors to cut out women's uteruses without their knowledge or consent to promote 'birth control' across the country. It’s a vile and bloody crime against women being orchestrated by an odious strongman, and now is the time for it to end. Karimov is one of the world’s worst dictators, he’s even boiled opposition activists alive. Yet he’s propped up by millions of dollars from the US government, which pays him for military transport across the country. The latest round of brutality against his country’s women has turned the global spotlight on this monster. Let’s use this awful moment to persuade his biggest backer to ditch him. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton can reinstate military sanctions and push the US and other powers to lift any and all support. She has already publicly condemned Karimov for human rights abuses, and this most recent assault on women's rights -- a topic she champions -- only ups the stakes. Sign the petition below calling on Clinton to end Karimov's reign of terror and stop the brutal attack on women: Activists estimate tens or even hundreds of thousands of women were sterilised secretly when they went into the hospital for a routine procedure or to give birth -- waking up with no idea that their uterus had just been removed. One Uzbek gynecologist admitted, 'Every doctor is told ... how many women are to be sterilised ... my quota is four women a month'. The use of arbitrary arrest and torture is so widespread that women don’t speak out for fear of reprisals, and foreign journalists and human rights activists are routinely thrown out of the country. It doesn’t have to be like this -- the US could play hardball with Karimov, who relies on the steady flow of money from transit to Afghanistan to fund his lavish lifestyle. The human rights horror show in Uzbekistan has gone under the radar for years -- but we have a real chance to break the silence now, using the explosive BBC report that details forced sterilisations, and stand with the brave Uzbek women who have dared to tell their stories in the face of stunning oppression. Join the call for a victory for justice and human rights in the war on women – click below to sign the petition to Clinton: Time and again, Avaaz members have stood up for the rights of women around the world. Let’s join together now and remind the US that opting for human rights or national interest is a false choice -- and that we’ll continue the fight for women's rights wherever they are threatened. With hope and determination, Stephanie, Pedro, Morgan, David, Emma, Ricken, Lisa, Wissam and the rest of the Avaaz team i removed the 100 links incase someone decided to click on them... :P "Uzbekistan's dictator is forcing doctors to cut out women's uteruses without their knowledge" = WTF LOL"tens or even hundreds of thousands of women were sterilised " entire population of the country = only 29 million. lets assume its 50/50 men/women, that's a huge % to sterilise without anyone noticing...the boiling people alive bit is true apparently according to google, but the rest of it is complete bs... well this email gave me a lol, so thought id share :), i got it on my phone so i removed all the links & pics etc before forwarding to my pc. the sad thign is someone , somewhere, is touched by this story & is opening their wallet now to donate... o.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vindekarr Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 "Removing" it isn't isn't like just lopping someone's nose off either, it's an organ that's right in the middle of the body and removing one would be a highly complicated and time consuming surgery taking several doctors-and leaving very obvious physical markers, like significant scarrification. That's also ignoring the really glaringly obvious part-that the uterus factors into the menstrual cycle, and the removal of it would have an extremely noticeable effect.

Mercbird Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) I excercised my google tic and found it circulating on blogs under "Google News" which is hardly legit, some almost verbatim to the quote also minus the stupid tax links, and nothing on Snopes. Was abbout to poo poo it until I found this, nice to know that some entrepreneurial scammer saw an opportunity there. :( Oh and Avaaz does have a petition and the article on their website Edited April 21, 2012 by Mercbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally i thought it was a "hey im a rich prince and need some cash to open my bank..." made up rubbish i normally get, but taking a real problem where people are suffering, then imitating they're charity to make a quick buck... that's just sick... i made a small donation to the official site, i feel so bad about it.. not to mention theyre campaigning against CISPA, just makes it worse theyre trying to help me ( and everyone else online.. ) aswell ><. Ty Mercbird, i did do a google aswell but gave up pretty quickly assuming it was complete BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercbird Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Aw man, didnt mean to make you feel bad, someone did try to scam off the real thing, best way to sell a lie, and thats not on you! I was going to add that I can wait to see when the mail gets round to my office ... where I'm crusading a personal "stop the chain mailing" campaign. As I said, I was about to write it off too. PS. Gave you a kudos for the donating! :-x Edited April 21, 2012 by Mercbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korodic Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Good. People need to stop having so many children... Especially stupid ones. I'd know, I just got out of high school not too long ago, and if you think the future looks as "bright" as these children are its a pretty dark place. I've seen it. :armscrossed: But the boilings... This is why I feel having people in absolute power is a mistake. Why does it seem like watching the news is sometimes like peering through a window into an uncivilized mess lacking common sense stuck in a cycle of continuous failure at modernization? These are things we must ask ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
