The rectorate spoke about a camera installed in the dormitory of female students, the Department of Internal Affairs started an investigation

It was stated that the Internal Affairs Department of the Fergana region is conducting an investigation into reports that a hidden video camera was installed in the dormitory of the Kokan State Pedagogical Institute where female students live.  This was reported by the press service of the Department of Internal Affairs of the region.

It is noted that on 2 April of this year, V.Z, who lives in the 1st dormitory of the Kokan State Pedagogical Institute, contacted the short number “102” and expressed her dissatisfaction with the installation of surveillance cameras in the students’ dressing rooms.  This message was duly registered on the same day.

“Currently, the Internal Affairs Department of the city of Kokan is conducting an investigation into the matter.  Additional information will be provided on the result,” the statement of the Department of Internal Affairs read.

The Rectorate of the Pedagogical Institute reacted strongly after it was revealed that a camera was installed in the dormitory of female students in Kok.

According to him, the installation of the camera was ordered by the rector of the institute.

“The purpose of this was to create a special room for dealing with students’ psychological problems, stabilizing their mental state and preventing stressful situations during the study process,” the rector’s office said.

For this reason, taking into account that students go home on Saturday-Sunday, the room was furnished on Saturday.

But the students were not warned about this situation in time.  As a result, this misunderstanding occurred.

It should be noted that the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation announced that a surveillance camera was installed in one of the rooms of the students’ (girls’) dormitory of the Kokan Pedagogical Institute.
