Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev is the current president of Uzbekistan and was the prime minister of Uzbekistan from 2003 to 2016. Upon becoming president he released a few political prisoners including a journalist, but human rights groups warn that he may still suppress political dissent. He has made efforts to scrap the Soviet-style exit visa system, facing much opposition from the government.[1][2]
