The Uzbek Supreme Court sentenced two men-Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan leader Takhir Yuldashev and field commander Dzhuma Namagani-to death in absentia and sentenced 10 others to various terms of imprisonment for their role in the February 1999 bombings in Tashkent. New York-based Human Rights Watch said the trials violated international law and called into question Tashkent's promise to move toward eliminating the death penalty.
