Another harassment case occurred in Tashkent. A drunk pensioner sat down next to a girl who was waiting for her mother and began kissing and hugging her. Our most “just” court punished him with only three days of arrest.
This story was shared by the anti-violence project “Nemolchi.uz.”
The incident took place on September 15, 2024, at one of the city’s markets. The girl had sat on a bench while her mother went into a store. At that moment, a man in a state of intoxication approached her and began hugging and kissing her face. The girl’s mother, seeing this, rushed over and demanded that the man stop his actions. However, he began to insult her. After this, the woman turned to law enforcement.
The officers identified the man as a 60-year-old resident of Tashkent region. In court, he did not admit his guilt, explaining that the girl reminded him of his granddaughter. However, he did not deny that he was intoxicated.
On September 30, the Mirzo-Ulugbek district court found the pensioner guilty of sexual harassment and sentenced him to just three days of arrest.
