My name is Sakina, I lived and worked in the capital in the city of Tashkent. one morning, when I just woke up, men in uniform and my neighbor came to my apartment. they entered the apartment and the man said get ready. I was shocked and asked where to go? he said that he was at the police department! I looked at my neighbor, she was silent. It turned out that she led them to me. She didn't like that I dressed like a woman. To avoid complaints from the tenant and neighbors, I specifically did not receive clients in my apartment. They took me to the police station, where they forced me to write that one of my friends forced me to work. When I refused, they beat me, raped me and threatened that if I told anyone they would disgrace me throughout Uzbekistan! I was scared, I didn’t understand what I was doing, I wrote what they dictated, after which I signed and handed over the paper. Afterwards they handcuffed me and took me to prison, where I stayed for 4 months. They carried out judicial proceedings and released me, giving me a fine! And that trans girl I knew who forced me to write against her was imprisoned for 5 years. I don’t know the reason why they did this to her. I wasn’t even interested because of my mental disorder. Now I don’t work, I sit at home, my family found out about my sexuality and now they don’t let me leave the house, they say that shame alone is enough for them!
