NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 8, 2025--

Agnifilo Intrater LLP and Amsterdam & Partners LLP will host a news conference on Tuesday, September 9 th, demanding the immediate release of prominent Uzbek business leader Ulugbek Shadmanov. They will be joined by numerous supporters of Mr. Shadmanov, who has been illegally detained for 273 days following what his legal team calls a “state-sponsored kidnapping.”

Attorneys Marc Agnifilo and Robert Amsterdam will provide updates on their client’s case and highlight ongoing human rights violations. International business consultant Eugene Gourevitch was a first-hand witness to Mr. Shadmanov’s violent and sudden arrest without cause in the United Arab Emirates, where he was detained in secret for 30 days before eventually being transported to Tashkent to face unspecified charges. Mr. Shadmanov is believed to have been subject to inhumane treatment while incarcerated, in violation of his rights and several international treaties.

Mr. Shadmanov is the founder and owner of United Cement Group, Central Asia's largest cement producer, employing over 7,000 people.

The news conference will be held in Manhattan’s historic Foley Square, in front of the New York County Supreme Court building bearing the inscription: “The true administration of justice is the firmest pillar of good government.”
