On 26 August 2014, at approximately 18.00 hours, near residential buildings of the Youth Housing
 |
Association at the Karasu district of Osh city an ethnic
Uzbek high school student Turginbay Mominov was attacked.
Turginbay MOMINOV, date of birth
04.10.2000, went to visit his grandfather living in Krasin Street of the Karasu district. He was
attacked by six Kyrgyz looking young men.
They hit him all over his body. Mominov was brought to an emergency station in serious condition,
where he was given first aid, but was
refused admission to the hospital despite of obvious hematoma in vital organs.
Turginbay Mominov has been undergoing treatment in a
private clinic for 15 days.
The parents of the victim contacted
the authorities to register charges for
bringing to justice those who caused significant damage to the health of the
child.
Turginbay Mominov is still ill, on medication, it is recommended that he lives a relaxed lifestyle. But the police inspector was
calling him almost every day. After another such call
from the police, his mother perturbed by such a cruel attitude to
her child, went to the police station instead of Turginbay.
But the reaction of the district policeman
was extremely rude and abrupt, he told
her: "It is a pity that you
are a woman, otherwise I would have
showed you how we treat those who complain about the Kyrgyz!".
According to the observations of the
Association for Human Rights in Central
Asia, in southern Kyrgyzstan, the cases of
attacks on the ethnic Uzbek residents of the city of
Osh is getting more frequent. All the victims
indicate that the participants of these attacks are young people of the
Kyrgyz appearance. They are organised and focused. Law enforcement authorities in southern Kyrgyzstan are
extremely reluctant to take up the investigation of such cases. There are many
indications that they do not wish to record the facts of crimes motivated by
ethnic hatred. At the same time, search for those who inform
the international organisations and the media
about the manifestations of xenophobia against ethnic Uzbeks has intensified.
