According to the BBC, the grandson of the first president of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov asked for political asylum from the Great Britain's government a month ago.
Islam Karimov Jr. lives in London at the present time. Her mother, Gulnara Karimova, has been under arrest in Uzbekistan since 2015. She was accused by the authorities for laundering a lot of money, tax fraud and organizing criminal groups. In August 2015, Gulnara Karimova was found guilty and sentenced to 5 years in deprivation of liberty.
Recall, the Uzbek authorities accused Gulnara Karimova during the time when her father Islam Karimov was alive. Since then, she never appeared in public. She did not even attend the funeral, even when his father died.
