The Human Rights Alliance of Uzbekistan are suing the Uzbek Education Ministry for damages for school children and teachers forced to pick cotton.
The action seeks 100 million sums ($70,800) and relates to last autumn's cotton harvest. The government had previously pledged not to use child labour.
The activists are hoping to use any damages awarded to fight against illegal child labour in the next harvest.
The embedded video here shows children harvesting cotton in the Spring 2008 harvest.
