Ilhom Zaynobiddinov's mother told RFE/RL that police had detained her son on May 22. She said she did not know what charges he may face.
An independent news website, ferghana.ru, said Zaynobiddinov was detained for establishing contacts with his father's fellow activists and carrying on his father's work.
His father, Saidjahon Zaynobiddinov, headed the local human rights organization Apelatsiya (Appeal). He was jailed after reporting on the violent crackdown on protesters in the city of Andijon one year ago.
