SUBJECT: BIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION ON JAMSHID BOTIROVICH FAIZIEV


1. (SBU) On October 22, 2008, Uzbekistan's Procurator-General Rashid
Kadyrov signed an order (with President Karimov's approval)
appointing Jamshid Botirovich Faiziev as Procurator of Ferghana
Province. Faiziev, an ethnic Uzbek, was born in 1971 in Tashkent.
In 1994, he graduated from the Tashkent Law Institute. In 1995, he
became an intern in the Office of the Procurator of Yunusobod
District in Tashkent. Faiziev worked his way up the ranks to
investigator and senior investigator, eventually becoming procurator
of a section in the Office of the Procurator of Tashkent City.


2. (SBU) From 1998 until 2005, Faiziev served successively as an
Investigator, Senior Investigator and Deputy Chief of the Department
for Very Important Cases in the Office of the Procurator of the
Republic of Uzbekistan. In 2001, he graduated from the Academy of
State and Public Buildings under the President of the Republic of
Uzbekistan.


3. (SBU) From 2005 until 2006, he was an Inspector in the
Presidential Apparat (Office of the President) of the Republic of
Uzbekistan. From 2006 until October 2008, he worked as a Department
Chief in the Office of the Procurator-General of the Republic of
Uzbekistan.


4. (SBU) Comments: According to a source in the Government of
Uzbekistan, Faiziev was appointed to this position because he is not
affiliated with Ferghana Province. According to President Karimov's
policy, regional procurators and department chiefs should be rotated
out of their positions frequently and should not have been born or
raised in the regions where they serve. This policy is intended to
counter the growth of regional clans' influence and power.
