The court board in Tashkent has completed the review of the case related to the death of a private kindergarten student and issued a verdict against two employees. This was reported by Upl.uz.
As a result of the incident that occurred in December last year, former educator Laylo Alimova was deprived of her freedom, while methodologist Vazira Giyazova received a limited sentence. According to court materials, systematic violence was observed against two-year-old Zubayr Anvarjonov at the private kindergarten named "Jajji nihollar."
From December 9 to 11, 2024, 67-year-old methodologist Vazira Giyazova frequently used physical violence to force the child to eat. The protocols recorded aggressive actions such as hitting the head, pulling the clothes, and throwing the child onto the bed.
The tragic event occurred on December 11. The 27-year-old educator Laylo Alimova used violence because the child was not sleeping peacefully.
During the court proceedings, it was revealed that she threw the child to the ground, hit him, kicked him from behind, and struck his face. She also stuffed a blanket in his mouth to stop him from crying and applied choking actions.
Alimova also threatened to throw the child out of the window. As a result of these actions, the child sustained a severe traumatic brain injury and fell into a state incompatible with life.
In her testimony at the court, Laylo Alimova fully admitted her guilt, stating that she acted in a "state of rage" and asked the court for forgiveness. She stated, "I got angry and kicked him three times.
On the first kick, the child hit the wall. Then I picked him up and threw him onto the bed," she testified.
The court materials indicate that during the violence, methodologist Giyazova entered the room but instead of stopping the illegal actions, she struck the child and threatened, "If you don't sleep, I'll kill you!" According to the sequence of events, Alimova continued the violence.
At 14:21, she made the child sit in front of her, but since there was no peace, she used violence again. At one point, she noticed that the child was not showing signs of life and called for help.
Initial attempts to provide medical assistance were unsuccessful. The ambulance team took the child to the hospital, where he passed away on December 14 without regaining consciousness.
According to the court decision, Laylo Alimova was found guilty under part 3 "d" of Article 104 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The court sentenced her to 6.5 years of imprisonment in a general regime colony, applying Article 57.
Vazira Giyazova was charged under parts 2 "a" and "v" of Article 110 and was sentenced to 3 years of limited punishment. Due to this and other serious cases in Uzbekistan, the control system over kindergarten activities has been significantly strengthened.
Starting from 2025, it became mandatory to install video surveillance systems in all private kindergartens that allow remote access for parents and monitoring bodies. These measures are aimed at ensuring the safety of children.
