International organizations are holding a campaign for abolition of the death penalty in Central Asia, International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights project coordinator Natalia Lazareva said at a Monday roundtable. \"Some problems have not been resolved, as a moratorium does not mean the abolition of the death penalty,\" she said. The federation launched the two-year project last December \"to give more information to citizens and discuss human rights aspects of the death penalty,\" Lazareva said. The project is under way in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, she said. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have a death penalty moratorium. Uzbekistan will abolish the death penalty by a presidential decree on January 1, 2008. Turkmenistan abolished the death penalty in 1999. (Interfax)
