My name is Tanho and I am 25 years old. I am a trans girl living in a rented apartment in the city of Tashkent in the Yakkasaro district. I met a trans girl on social media, and we struck up a friendly relationship. I invited her to visit, I gave her the address. She arrived, I welcomed her, set the table, we talked, we weren’t in character [in feminine attire], then she left. After some time, she wanted to visit me again, I said that it’s no problem to come. This time we agreed to meet in feminine looks. She arrived, we sat together, suddenly someone knocked on the door, I opened it, there were 4 people from law enforcement agencies and one neighbor standing at the entrance (probably as a witness), they entered, handcuffed me, searched the apartment. They took off my wig and started swearing and calling me names (faggot, etc.) And they took me to the police station, locked me in a cell and said that under Article 120 of the Republic of Uzbekistan I would be imprisoned for a long time. It turns out my friend was a decoy. This is how people like me are found and arrested. I cried, said that my parents were sick and I was working to pay for their medicine and asked them to let me go, but they did not pay attention to me. They beat me and insulted me and swore at me. Then after 2 hours one came up and said that they would let me go but for a certain amount. I agreed, he asked for 500 dollars, I agreed. I came home with one of them, gave the money, and he told me to vacate the apartment and stay out of their area, and that next time they wouldn’t let me out and would put me in prison under the full charge. The next day I went to stay with an old friend. Now I'm unemployed. I constantly have a feeling of fear and helplessness. I feel ashamed of myself.
