A criminal case was initiated against 2 employees of the Internal Affairs Department in connection with the death of a 14-year-old boy who died in an internal affairs institution in Fergana.  The General Prosecutor's Office provided information about this.

It is noted that 2 former employees of the internal affairs office barely attended to their assigned tasks, treated their obligations with indifference and dishonesty, and as a result of their failure to do their jobs, minor R. Abdusattorov (deceased), who was detained in the center, was killed by two other minors.  During the day the child was regularly beaten and severely injured. This resulted in his death.  

In connection with this situation, a former teacher from the center of the Internal Affairs Department and an inspector-on-duty of that shift, were held as suspects under Article 207, Part 3, Clause "a" of the Criminal Code (scarcely looking at their duties).  They were detained under the procedure of Article 221 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

"Prison" precautionary measures were applied to them.

It should be recalled that on 10 November, two people who allegedly caused the death of a 14-year-old boy, who was taken away by an internal affairs officer in Fergana, were arrested.
