The prison, officially known by the codename UYA 64/71, was located in a former Soviet military base once used for testing chemical warfare protection equipment. It was established in 1999.[4] The prison was opened to contain thousands of people arrested following bombings in the capital, Tashkent, and as of 2012 held 5,000–7,000 people according to Human Rights Watch.[2]
The prison was shut down by Uzbekistan's president, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, in September 2019.[5]
