Who killed Farhad Usmanov?

This strangely unqualified question has appeared in sticker, placard and graffiti form all over the place, prompting many to wonder.

The correct answer is Islam Karimov, president of Uzbekistan. Farhad Usmanov is a human rights cause celebre in Uzbekistan because his is the most blatant and the most widely protested of many cases of murder of political opponents by the Uzbek regime.

The stickers etc. seem to be the handiwork of the Muslim fundamentalist group Hizb-ut Tahrir, an insidious organisation committed to human rights violations of other kinds (against Jews, gays, women, etc.), but who object to attacks on fellow Islamists and who therefore have a lot of gripes with the Uzbek government. This government is particularly keen on killing Islamists because they happen to be the main opposition force in the country. Farhad was the son of a cleric.

Noegyth Nibin

Elvish for "petty-dwarves". In The Silmarillion, they are dispersed and secretive dwarves who entered Beleriand before the elves made contact with the dwarves of Belegost and Nogrod. They were persecuted and hunted down because the elves thought they were creatures of Morgoth, and as a result they became accustomed to hiding in hidden underground homes, and also to hating the elves (especially the Noldor).

The only petty-dwarves to play a major role were Mim and his sons Khim and Ibun. They got into a fight with Turin and his companions, and Turin fatally shot Khim with an arrow and captured Mim. Mim took Turin to his home in return for mercy, but later betrayed Turin to orcs when they captured him. He was later slain by Beleg. His home, on the mountain Amon Rudh, was known as Bar-en-Danwedh, the House of Ransom.
Mim and his sons are the only individual dwarves to play any significant role in the Silmarillion.
