Hundreds of people are thought to have died when violence erupted in the Uzbek city of Andijan on May 13 May, 2005. The Uzbek government says its soldiers were fighting off Islamic radicals attempting a coup. An independent international investigation into the killings has never been authorised by the government. Ten years later, Kriszta Satori has been speaking to some of the survivors. (Some testimony contains graphic detail.)
