Bishkek Mayor’s Office overstepped the constitutional and international rights of dispossessed and deprived children of Kyrgyzstan. It was reported by the Institute of the Ombudsman of the Republic.
Ombudsman Tokon Mamytov appealed to the mayor of the capital, Aziz Surakmatov, with an urgent request to take control and prevent violations of the rights, freedoms and interests of the child in the activities of the departments of the mayor’s office.
“We ask you to strictly observe the articles and norms of the legislation of Kyrgyzstan and the International Conventions and Declarations, which have been ratified by the republic and are subject to strict implementation, in particular – the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Code of the Kyrgyz Republic On Children, the Family Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Convention of The United Nations on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ”says in the appeal.
The reason for the appeal of the Ombudsman was the situation around the Obereg Children’s Rehabilitation Center. The fact is that the municipal authorities, contrary to the existing Memorandum “On interaction and cooperation between the mayor’s office and the Center, dated April 28, 2017, evicted 60 pupils from the state building, transferring it to the Municipal Territorial Administration No. 13.
“I urge the mayor’s office of Bishkek to fulfill the guarantees and promises that it has documented with the Obereg facility, as well as to exclude any possible misunderstandings or violations of the above Memorandum. Nurdin Tynaev, head of the municipal property department of the mayor’s office, stepped over the constitutional and international rights of disadvantaged and deprived of full health children, whose interests are under the protection of the state and the international human rights community, ”said Tokon Mamytov.
We add that the activities of the Oberig rehabilitation center are aimed at providing correctional assistance and comprehensive development of children, teens, and young people with disabilities (PWD and disabled people). Before the COVID-19 pandemic, this facility held over 60 children.
