Entrances to some cities were blocked . In Dashoguz during a two-month period every morning owners of private minivans drove mobilized people to the fields ( sometimes to the remote areas of the velayat ) , and in the evening picked them up and drove them back . In particular , the members of the U.S. Mission to the OSCE made interventions regarding freedom of assembly , movement , religious and media freedom , and the failure of the government of Turkmenistan to provide legal remedies for human rights violations , as did the OSCE 's Rapporteur on Turkmenistan , Emmanuel Decaux . All motorbikes were without licence numbers and were left by their owners during the raid . The drivers even paid for the gas ( drivers involved in transporting people to and from the cotton fields are allowed to purchase 20 liters of gas every day , while other private vehicle owners are limited to 30 liters a week ) . The second anniversary of Ruhnama Day was marked in Turkmenistan on Friday with fairs , exhibitions and a theatrical and pop music concert in Ashgabat , but by a demonstration by human rights activists outside the Turkmenistan embassy in Moscow . Another conflict was created when the authorities demanded that owners of private vehicles involved in the transportation of passengers would transport people to the cotton field on a daily basis . I have seen that with my own eyes in the mud of Tirana and in the tent cities of Southwest Asia and Bosnia . We have asked them to help us with readiness by putting dollars into our depot level reparables , and into maintenance on our aircraft , and to fill the supply bins that were drawn down so drastically over the drawdown period . Because of traffic limitations imposed for the period of the cotton harvest in the area , many owners of private vehicles involved in transportation of passengers were deprived of their earnings and were barely providing for their families .
