Murder in Samarkand
''Murder in Samarkand'' (published in the US under the title ''Dirty Diplomacy'') is a non-fiction book by British activist and former ambassador to Uzbekistan, Craig Murray. The book〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Murder in Samarkand — Documents )〕 forms an account of his ambassadorship at the UK embassy in Tashkent in 2002–04. The tale explains how Murray sacrificed his diplomatic career to speak out against the Karimov administration's suppression of human rights and British double standards over torture in Iraq.
==Publishing difficulties==
The book was originally published by Mainstream (Edinburgh) in 2006 but only after several battles. Before its publication, many potential readers had been contacted through Internet posts and e-mail listings to raise interest and by creating a body of public opinion, to guard against the publisher being 'bullied' out of printing the book by government pressure. These communications also mentioned how supporting government documents which were originally planned for inclusion had been forcibly removed because of 'copyright' worries. This, despite Murray's claims that many had received a formal release and thus should have been within the public domain. Their forced removal, Murray has stated is the government "trying to claw back the very limited gains in Freedom of Information in the UK",〔''Murder in Samarkand'', preface, page 13 (2007 paperback edition)〕 especially attempts to close websites on which the supporting documents were posted instead. Though many attempts to do this have proved successful, media interest has also meant that the documents frequently re-surface on mirror sites.〔(Craig Murray documents — The media catches on
