Yesterday, a message was spread on social networks that the punishment was left unchanged to officials who raped girls at the orphanage in Khorezm. The head of the Information Service of the Supreme Court Aziz Abidov, in response to the request of the “River”about this, stated that the information circulating on the networks was incorrect.
This criminal case is being considered in the appellate instance of the criminal jury of the Tashkent City Court. At the moment, the process is underway. It's not over. Neither the decision nor the new verdict of the court has yet been published on this issue. The information circulating in the networks is not mistaken and justified, " says Aziz Abidov.
According to Section 66 of the responsible Courts Act, the media are reminding in their messages that they have no right to decide in advance the results of a hearing on a particular case.
In the article of this law, which we mention, the media does not have the right to decide in advance the results of a hearing on a particular case in their messages, or to influence the court in any form, " says Aziz Abidov.
According to a lawyer who spoke about this with a journalist from the” river", the process, which was taking place in a closed court style, concluded negotiations on the same days. The parties who spoke at the negotiations — the prosecutor and lawyers-reported their conclusions on the situation.
The court's final opinion on the matter has not yet been published. Those who write about it are spreading false information. The court is expected to release its final conclusion on the case on September 27, " says the lawyer.
It was reported that the head of the family orphanage in Khorezm forced three underage educators to have sex with the heads of the Regional Justice Department and the district emergency department for 10 months. Assistant president of Uzbekistan Saida Mirziyoyeva said that security was achieved for three injured girls of the children's home in Khorezm.
Their safety, mental and physical recovery is now a priority issue. At the same time, we need to work on acting in such situations and, most importantly, on creating a system of their prevention. It's time to tighten the laws and create norms of absolute intolerance to violence. At all levels. In this situation, there is one aspect that gives me hope, even if it is publicity and The Voice of civil society. Perhaps without this we would be helplessly unaware of what was happening around. Violence has always been, but it is precisely because of openness that we are talking loudly about this phenomenon, and our real resources have appeared to combat it, — said Saida Mirziyoyeva then.
The children's Ombudsman also expressed the positivity that any sexual offences applied to the Daughters of the House of mercy should be followed by severe forms of punishment. And the prosecutor general's office filed a protest in the case of the rape of the Daughters of the orphanage in Khorezm.
