Several undated photos were released to the media on September 16 by Gulnara Karimova's Britain-based spokesman, Locksley Ryan, who said in an e-mailed statement that Karimova and her daughter are in "urgent need of medical attention." Karimova, daughter of Uzbek President Islam Karimova and a once ubiquitous sight on the Uzbek and international fashion and culture scene with ties to major strategic businesses, is reportedly under Uzbek house arrest.
