We present the translation of the documentary entitled “Rejected by the Motherland” broadcasted via “Uzbekistan” TV channel two years ago. This film shows the attitude of the Karimov regime to political refugees. Following the deportation order against a group of the Uzbek citizens from Norway in 2014, this film became very relevant. The film helps to understand why Uzbek authorities use lies against those who seek international humanitarian protection and why they are portrayed as “traitors of the Motherland”; why those who communicate with the “traitors” are imprisoned and the family members of are forced to give evidence against their loved ones who criticise the regime.

| Film "VATANGADO" (translates as Rejected by the Motherland) |
However, it is wrong to think that all these huge changes and
developments taking place in our country, bring pleasure and delight to
everyone’s eyes.
There are some evil-eyed people who hate our successes and are ready at
any moment to destroy our calm and peaceful life. Unfortunately, there are such
dark forces, people with villainous intentions, a group of people hiding behind
the faith groups, political purposes, which ignore all creative activities
taking place in Uzbekistan.
At the same time, without any specific strategic plans, or certainty of
beliefs and goals, based on their own understanding and scattered, individual
reflection, they ultimately try to put forward ideas that lead to the decline
and degradation, which in essence is a terror. To this end, if necessary, they
do not shy away from spilling blood, organising terror, poisoning brain washing,
going against the people, against their parents; dissemination of all sorts of
wrong and untrue statement become the main instrument in the exercise of their
vulgar ideas and plans.
On the screen: «So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers» (Surat 'Ali `Imran [139] - the Noble Qur'an)
Those day labourers and hired-labourers escape their homeland in order
to betray it and wander in foreign countries, soaking up the side of those
countries and forces that have ulterior motives in our regions, turn into their
instrument, pour water in their mills. Inspired by these forces, they actively lead
group which operate in interests of these wanderers, trying to combine the
traitours goals, they put forward the idea of quarrelsome and sow discord. These
groups consist of criminals, disguised under the guise of political and
religious ideas, they set themselves the ultimate goal - the conquest of power
by the analysis of the socio-political situation of the country and implementation
of hostile ideas which create an unhealthy environment with the help of people
who have committed crimes and flee abroad.
What type of people claim leadership and who joined this movement? When
we introduce clarity on this issue, then we will have a clear idea about the
real purpose of these crowds and flocks.
Who is Muhammadsolikh Abutov? Why was he sentenced and why does he live
abroad, what does he do there? Who is in realty this character? This can be elicited
from his personality, the crimes he carried out, moral of his behaviour and
other indicators, because while abroad, he manages those who consider
themselves opponents.
Muhammadsolikh returned home with such changes; he began to spread and
infiltrate the idea he learned from his mentors among relatives, peers, even to
the chief imam khatib of the area mosque. Muhammadsolikh armed himself with inhuman
ideas that to achieve one’s goals, as well as any other dogma, one can resort
to any immorality and promiscuity, and in this way one can be justified to
betray his parents and relatives.
Then I replied to him, - Hey, brother I do not think this is the right
response, why are you so rude? Do you thing the way you are behaving is right?
Both of your parents are elderly and your father is sick. Should you not get a
job, earn your living and help your parents and children as a pious Muslim.
Should you not be ashamed of sitting here and waiting for someone to bring you
a couple of pieces of bread and go hungry if no one brings them? Then, the man
replied to me that he does not have such parents. I asked why he claims not to
have parents, did they not bring him to this world? He replied, - they brought
me to this world but I do not consider them to be my parents because they are
not Muslims, they are mushrik, they are infidels”.

When I walked away, he came up to me and asked:
- Is a mosque house of Allah?
- Of course, all mosques are houses of Allah.
- the house of Allah should remain open during all the 24 hours
- Of course, equally to everyone.
- Then we request that it stays open during all of the 24 hours.
- You have to provide for us to access as and when we would like to come.
- Ok, we shall grant such access and conditions. What will you get up to
when you are here?
- This is none of your business. We are not accountable to you in our
conduct.
- Then I have to reject your request.
Then he said that on the Judgement Day he will have a claim against me
in front of Allah because I forced him out from the house of Allah, and he
left.
They were angry with me. They found a room in a house and began to meet
regularly. I infiltrated my man for observation and asked him what they were
getting up to all night? He told me that they were practicing martial arts,
sambo, fighting, karate, then fall asleep and did not even get up for the
morning prayer.
As he wrote in his memoirs, he wanted to frighten or to avenge the Imam
Khatib, who was very much afraid of changes, who does not want to follow in his
path and offers resistance to his ideas.
In 1996, by the decision of the court Muhammad Abutov was sentenced to 7
years of imprisonmen for these actions. Did his criminal acts, or the
machinations end there and during the period of his sentence he became a better
person reaching right conclusions? There is a saying «if a good person turns bad
- believe it and do not believe, if bad person turns good.” For, our "hero"
yet again proved it to be true”.
One of the pupils of this group Oltiboy Khakberdiyev (title) his name is
Saxtus (prisoner) later, following the Muhammadsolikh’s instructions crosses
the border to Afghanistan illegally and gets training in guerrilla camps. On
his return, he gets arrested by the authorities when attempting to blow-up a
German military base located in the Termez city of the Surkhandarya region.
After the authorities uncovered this misdeed by Muhammadsolikh Abutov, he left
initially for Kazakstan and then to Russia. We shall come back to where he went
next, but, for now, let us draw your attention to the family situation of
Abutov. If you paid attention, one could notice that from early childhood
Muhmmadsolikh Abutov had an unlucky life. He could not find his place in the
society, neither by this study nor by this work or by any other medium for that
matter. The same can be said about his position in his family.
Saidkamol Abutov, continues: I often had
arguments with my younger brother on the subject that my wife was not wearing a
head-scarf. In one of such arguments he threatened that there will be
bloodshed. I replied so be it. In one of the arguments, he took a heavy mixing
tool from the kitchen and hit me on my head 4 times. I do not remember what
happened next. When I recovered I left escaped the home. I told my father that
I cannot live with him under the same roof anymore. I asked for his blessing
and explained that I cannot live in arguments continuously”.
Long story short, Abutov poisoned not only his own life but the lives of
his brothers, parent and extended family, and brought a great disrespect for
the family.
Thus ends Muhamadsalikh Abutov’s activity in Uzbekistan full of crimes
and bad luck, and his life as a refugee abroad begins.
However, his analysis of a peaceful and quiet lives of civilians
homeland did not end. Now he took to muddy the waters from afar. Now he took to
muddy the waters and founded the group "Tayanch Zhamiyati" (Society for
Support) and wants to put unite all the refugees. To increase the number of members
of this group he addresses the public and terrorist groups located in
Afghanistan and Pakistan through the Internet, asking them to cooperate.
“Dear compatriots and people sharing the same faith. I have a desire to
address you with an official appeal. Brothers, you do not worry on Afghan soil and
you saw what changes on the brought the Arab Spring. Don’t you think it is time
to unite all our efforts in this direction?”
In response, the terrorist groups refused their appeal and see their
society as wrong, blasphemous and dancing to the music of the West.
This appeal shows how democratic is the Tayanch society. In fact, it is not
difficult to understand that by collaborating with a terrorist group what kind
of "just" the organisation they want to create.
Muhamadsolikh Abutov appealed via the Internet to citizens of
Uzbekistan. He tries to involve young people in his group using different lies.
Some of those who believed in these lies, got caught on lies. One of such youth
is a 23-year-old Fazliddin Zayniddinov from Tashkent.
Now think for yourself. It took only 100 US dollars for this young man to
commit a treason, in which he grew away his authoritative and honourable people
and ruined his bright future. Although he is not an underdeveloped child in any
capacity, neither is he a person who does not understand the consequences of his
actions. The worst thing is that before distributing the leaflets he already was
familiar with the content of the leaflets.
To start with, the leaflets were addressed to the popular movement of
Uzbekistan on the day of commemoration of the Constitution. It said that in
countries such as Egypt, Libya, and other Arab countries, there were popular
uprisings and it was a call to carry out such an uprising in Uzbekistan.
This may be a right time to take a step back and tell the viewers that
“so skilfully depicted so-called "Arab Spring" led to a revolution in
the spirit and to a great tragedy.
Where did the opposition in the Arab countries come from? Where did the
opposition get the modern military equipment? Naturally, if we can find answers
to these questions, we can see greater active political powers surrounding
these events. To say it more accurately, these are the political powers
established their geopolitical interests. The ultimate goal of these powers is
not to establish peace in those countries, imprudent of quality of life. If
this was their goal, at least 3-4 Arab countries would already be on their way
to peaceful development, increased productivity and capital turnover.
Let us look at the data for the last year and half: production of goods
declined, influence from abroad has increased. In carrying out bloodshed of
this kind, unfortunately, misinformation, which leads to massacres, has a large
role to play. There is a reason why we call the information service “Akhborot”
(Uzbek for New) a determining factor in our lives. The news broadcasted in this programme excites
our minds and awakens in us the awareness of duty to the Fatherland
«When their plan with Fazliddin Zayniddinov did not work out, the group
of people rejected by the Fatherland decided to work with Surat Ikramov, who
presents himself as a human rights activist. They try to hide their failure and
spread rumours that the human rights
organisations came up with this intriguing plan”.
The moral of this story:
Jumaboy Matyakubov – he
tried his best to enrol into a higher education institution, but he could not;
Saidkamol Abutov – a
young girl lived with him only for 2 months, she could not take his despotism
anymore and left him;
Jumaboy Matyakubov – he
said that his father was not a Muslim but an infidel;
Fazliddin Zayniddinov - I curse this man, thousands of curses;
Jumaboy Matyakubov – there is some kind of passion in the behaviour of this person, one can feel it;
Saidkamol Abutov - before listening to his high-flown speeches, one should look at his past life, at least for once;
Fazliddin Zayniddinov - I curse this man, thousands of curses;
Jumaboy Matyakubov – there is some kind of passion in the behaviour of this person, one can feel it;
Saidkamol Abutov - before listening to his high-flown speeches, one should look at his past life, at least for once;
This
is the true face of a man, characterised by demonstrative piety and political
ambitions.
The 5 directions of development of our country designed by our leader
completely paid off. We see evidence of this in the well-being of our society.
Welfare of our nation rose very sharply. We can see this clearly when we travel
through the regions of the country. On the streets one can see more cars than
the roads can take. What does this tell us? This is a sign of a prosperous
life. This is a sign of a fundamental change in the standards of living of the
people. At the heart of the beautiful life and good living of the people is
that people feel the fundamental idea of national independence, love for
their homeland, love the place where one grew up, became an adult, where his umbilical
blood spilled, the love of the mother- earth and of the society. One puts a
decent share of his endeavour into the development of society and the land
where grew up and lives. This is the very real factor.
Unfortunately, there are some dark forces that cannot view the
developing economic and political reforms of our state and its peaceful, quiet
life in a normal way. These forces were not involved in any of processes which
we carried out over the last 20 years. Most of the time, they flaunt religion
and some other ideas and seek to come to power, as we have seen. It is not
exaggeration to call them traitors. Since the betrayal of the motherland
involves envy of all changes in the homeland, the destruction of peace and tranquillity,
moral and social atmosphere in the homeland - in the heart of it all is a moral
poverty. In the initial period of independence, we have chosen the way of development
which is relevant and appropriate for us. The 5 directions of development designed
by our esteemed president fully justified themselves. And no one can push us
from this path. And I think that we give an appropriate, necessary, resistance
to all these forces.

Uzbek state, the Uzbek people are like a caravan pushing forward quickly
and steadily. This is the way leading to a bright future. Now tell me, who can
push us off this path? What force is able to bring us back from this radiant,
shining path to a narrow, dark and terrible medieval ways? No One! All the
aspirations and goals aimed at doing so are in vain.
Decent people cannot miss constructive, creative, flourishing businesses
carried out in this country and they
will want to do their part. Instead of being at the forefront of such good
deeds, some people follow the wanderers who are not distinguished neither in
science and education, nor in religion or in humanity, nor in moral or ethical
terms. They cannot be an example and are not able to do even the smallest of
good deeds. They wished to renounce their Motherland and its people, they betrayed
her.
(a songs
praising Uzbekistan plays)
Hey, you scoundrel chatting from a far
Do not teach me how to walk.
Look at yourself and beat the drums,
Do not tell me how to live.
These are the people whose hearts are free in this
world,
Before the eyes of the Almighty the most favourite
people.
The past and the future - the greatest,
Do not tell me how to live.
If the heavens in the sky - beneath that is Uzbekistan,
If heavens on earth - over that is Uzbekistan.
