TASHKENT, April 27 (RIA Novosti) - A court in the capital of Uzbekistan ruled Thursday to close a representation in the country of an American non-governmental organization of lawyers.

Uzbekistan's Ministry of Justice had filed a motion with the Tashkent court to ban a representation of the ABA/CEELI (American Bar Association / Central European and Eurasian Law Initiative) for allegedly breaking the law on many occasions.

The ministry said it asked the NGO representation, which has been operating in the country since 1995, to correct their legal violations, but it had failed to do so.
