For the fifth month, the court hearings on the death from torture of a 26-year-old resident of Nookat district, Muhammad Kanibek uulu, continue. He died a few hours after being detained by employees of the Regional Department of Internal Affairs of Osh on October 15, 2020.
The former six police officers were charged under five articles, including “Torture”, “Causing death by negligence” and others. At the end of February, the case was submitted to the City court of Osh. Three judges were changed. There was a break due to the fact that the City Court got into the “red zone”. The hearings are still ongoing.
At the end of June, a police officer was questioned at the trial, in whose car Kanibek uulu was brought to the ambulance station. Lawyers of the deceased’s family asked questions about whether the employee knew that the guy was alive or not. The witness replied that he didn’t know anything, his colleagues didn’t explain anything to him, they just asked for help.
According to the materials of the case, in the testimony of the doctors of the ambulance station in the city of Osh, where he was brought on the night of October 15-16, 2020, it is said that he no longer had a pulse, breathing and heartbeat; rigor mortis was established, and his body was very cold. Biological death was diagnosed. The body was taken to the morgue.
“The City Court decided the issue of extending the measure of restraint for the defendants, whose lawyer asked the court to issue a measure not related to imprisonment. Prosecutors asked to keep them in custody. The court left the defendants in custody,” human rights activists of “One World (Bir Duino)” report.
