                                Murder of Journalist Alisher Saipov

The Embassy of the United States condemns the murder of Alisher Saipov.  We urge an immediate and thorough investigation into this terrible act.  The people responsible for this killing must be found and brought to justice.  Journalists and their independent reporting are the bedrock of a free and open society, and any attempt to intimidate them or silence their voices can not be tolerated.

Our condolences go out to his wife and child.
