Human rights think tank alleged that Uzbek government has instructed health workers to surgically sterilize women as part of a campaign to reduce birth rate of the authoritarian ex-soviet nation.
Previous human rights, UN and US State Department reports also have alleged that women in the Central Asian country have been forced or duped into sterilization.
Uzbekistan's government retains strict Soviet-style control over health institutions in the predominantly Muslim nation of 27 million, whose population has been growing quickly.
