Blogger Detained Over Video Alluding to the Killing of Singer Mubinlolo

A blogger known on Instagram as Umr.Sham, who has around 600,000 followers, has been detained after posting a video alluding to the killing of singer Mubina Abboskhonova, known as Mubinlolo, and placing her body in a black bag.

The blogger created the video in response to the singer’s music video, describing her work as contrary to national moral values. The footage sparked widespread controversy on social media.

Journalist Nikita Makarenko suggested that the blogger’s actions could fall under Article 244¹, Part 1 of Uzbekistan’s Criminal Code, which concerns the production, distribution, or display of materials threatening public safety and order.

According to the Tashkent City Main Department of Internal Affairs, officers in the Almazar district identified and detained the video’s creator. In footage released by the department, the blogger apologized for his actions and expressed regret.

A pre-investigation inquiry is currently underway. A legal decision will be made based on its findings.
