The Supreme Court acquitted 198 individuals who were victims of repression

Between 1930 and 1938, the criminal trial panel of the Supreme Court acquitted 198 individuals who had been unjustly punished by the Supreme Court's verdict. The Supreme Court's information service reported this.

Those unjustly punished were accused of various crimes, including counter-revolutionary actions, armed uprisings, terrorism, banditry, and espionage in areas now within the Republic of Karakalpakstan, Tashkent city, Khorezm, Bukhara, Jizzakh, and Namangan regions.

On May 6, 2024, during an open court session led by Deputy Chairman Ikrom Muslimov, these cases were reviewed and resolved in favor of the accused. Additionally, following Article 83 of the Criminal Procedure Code, the Supreme Court Criminal Trial Panel issued acquittal verdicts for 198 individuals across 11 criminal cases.

Among those acquitted was Sadulla Qosimov, who had served as chairman of the Supreme Court of the Uzbek SSR. Initially sentenced to death and had his property confiscated by the Supreme Court of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on June 21, 1930, Kasimov was exonerated. Alongside Qosimov, six others were found guilty in the same case under Article 63 of the Criminal Code of the Uzbek SSR.
