On June 28, 2014, a Tashkent court of first instance passed a summary judgment against Said and fined him just over $4,100 (official exchange rate) for violating articles 165 (operating without a license or permit) and 184 (preparing or keeping information threatening public security and order, with the aim of disseminating that information) of the Uzbek Administrative Code. The court effectively ruled that any person who who is not accredited as a journalist cannot collect and disseminates information without a license, may not be considered a journalist, and can be penalized. Columbia Global Freedom of Expression could not identify official legal and government records on the case and information on the case was derived from secondary sources. Columbia Global Freedom of Expression notes that media outlets may not provide complete information about this case. Additional information regarding legal matters will be updated as an official source becomes available.
