In this document Amnesty International expresses its concern about the widespread abuse of civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights in Turkmenistan. The report focuses on the clampdown on dissent and religious freedom in Turkmenistan with the aim of updating Amnesty International's September 2003 document Turkmenistan: Clampdown on dissent. A background briefing (AI Index: EUR 61/015/2003). This report documents that the clampdown has continued unabated beyond the wave of repression that followed the November 2002 alleged assassination attempt on the President.
