'''[[May 13]], [[2005]]''' - Hundreds are feared dead when Uzbek troops fire on thousands of protesters in the eastern town of [[Andijon]]. Uzbek authorities maintain that only 176 people died during the clashes, most of them "terrorists" and their own soldiers. Conservative estimates put the death toll around 500[http://www.alternet.org/story/22097/], with other sources citing as many as 700[http://www.rferl.org/featuresarticle/2005/06/b478ffa5-9143-4750-9680-9a523ef039c2.html] to 1000[http://www.rferl.org/featuresarticle/2005/06/ef3297ac-38ed-4eab-a8d2-4dcb2418ca07.html] killed during the clashes.

{{main|Politics of Uzbekistan}}
 
Constitutionally, the Government of Uzbekistan provides for democracy. In reality, the [[executive (government)|executive]] holds almost all power. The judiciary lacks independence and the parliament has little power to shape laws. The president selects and replaces provincial governors. Under terms of a December 1995 referendum, [[Karimov]]'s first term was extended. Another national referendum was held January 27, 2002 to yet again extend [[Karimov]]'s term. The referendum passed and [[Karimov]]'s term was extended by act of the parliament to December 2007. Most international observers refused to participate in the process and did not recognize the results, dismissing them as not meeting basic standards. The 2002 referendum also included a plan to create a bicameral parliament, consisting of a lower house (the Oliy Majlis) and an upper house (Senate). Members of the lower house are to be "full time" legislators. Elections for the new bicameral parliament took place on December 26, but no truly independent opposition candidates or parties were able to take part. The [[OSCE]] limited observation mission concluded that the elections fell significantly short of [[OSCE]] commitments and other international standards for democratic elections. Several political parties have been formed with government approval but have yet to show interest in advocating alternatives to government policy. Similarly, although multiple media outlets (radio, TV, newspaper) have been established, these either remain under government control or rarely broach political topics. Independent political parties were allowed to organize, recruit members, and hold conventions and press conferences, but have been denied registration under restrictive registration procedures. Terrorist bombings were carried out March 28-April 1, 2004 in [[Tashkent]] and [[Bukhara]]. It is not yet clear who committed the attacks. The government reaction to the attacks, thus far, has been restrained.
