Don't turn your back on Umida Akhmedova...

I am dedicating this photo to Umida Akhmedova who risks being thrown into jail for her photographic work - in which she searched for the beauty in the traditions and people of her country. Read about her plight and see a selection of her amazing pictures here: news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8473285.stm

 

And possibly dedicate your next upload to her so that she knows that she is not alone.

Done
