News at Eleven: [Yusuf Juma] and his family members

were several times accused of fabricated crimes. In July 25, 2007, his son Mashrab was imprisoned, and one month later he was released as his guilt was not proven. December 10, 2007, was the worst day in the Jumaevs' life. Late at night, a group of Special Forces of Uzbekistan attacked Juma's house. Although Juma and his family managed to escape then, a week later they were arrested by SNB and are reportedly tortured in custody.
