The orphanage, where the students organized a demonstration, is closed

The orphanage 21 in the city of Tashkent has ceased its activity.  This is reported on the website of “Mehribonlik” (kindness).

According to the reports, 122 children between the ages of 5 and 18 were raised in this orphanage.  Today, 67 foster children are being brought up in family conditions, and 12 of them are being raised in five family childrens' homes established in the capital.  6 children were returned to their parents or close relatives.

More than 50 boys and girls were also taken into custody.  The children left the institution when they were 18 years old.  As a result, only 27 children remained in the orphanage.  Therefore, they were all transferred to orphanage 22 in the capital.
