What Happened?

According to the MIA, several cases related to quadrobing have already been reported in Tashkent. On October 10, a teenager wearing an animal mask was spotted, and on October 11, another representative of this subculture attacked passengers, mimicking a dog. One of the witnesses, a child, was so frightened that it raised concerns about the impact on their mental health.

Experts warn that imitating aggressive animal behavior can have dangerous consequences. A child immersed in such a subculture might begin to harm themselves and others, as well as become socially isolated. Additionally, quadrobing can negatively affect the fragile psyche of adolescents, causing serious concern among specialists.

Parental Responsibility

According to the Constitution and the Law on Education, parents are responsible for the comprehensive development, education, and upbringing of their children. They are also required to foster respect for national and universal values, such as humanism and patriotism.

The MIA of Uzbekistan announced that parents or guardians of children engaged in this subculture will face administrative liability. Under the Administrative Responsibility Code, parents may be fined up to 1.8 million UZS (equivalent to 5 BRV).

Furthermore, if necessary, children may need to undergo a psychological examination to assess the impact of the subculture on their mental and emotional health. These assessments will be conducted confidentially in a supportive environment, ensuring that the child is not subjected to isolation or discrimination.

A Call to Parents

The MIA urges parents to carefully monitor their children’s behavior and fulfill their moral and legal obligations in upbringing. It is essential to promptly identify and address such dangerous interests to prevent negative consequences for children and their environment.

This is highlighted in a UNICEF report on the situation of children and adolescents in Uzbekistan.

Since the collapse of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan’s government, thousands of Afghans have sought refuge in Uzbekistan, particularly in the southern regions, such as Surkhandarya. According to government data, by November 2021, more than 13,000 Afghan citizens had arrived in the country on short-term visas. However, due to ongoing instability in their homeland, they are unable to return. Many of these individuals are in need of international protection, as confirmed by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

One of the key challenges facing Afghan refugees in Uzbekistan is the absence of national legislation governing refugee issues and asylum procedures. Uzbekistan’s non-ratification of the 1951 UN Refugee Convention exacerbates the situation. The country lacks standardized procedures for determining refugee status, making it significantly more difficult for these individuals to access basic rights and services. Afghan refugee children are particularly vulnerable, as the lack of recognized status complicates their birth registration process, leaving them in a legal vacuum.

The absence of legal status also leads to economic difficulties for Afghan families. Many face the need to regularly extend their visas and go through registration, which comes with financial costs that are hard to cover due to limited access to work visas and employment opportunities. This, in turn, complicates their access to healthcare, housing, and food.

The asylum bill currently being prepared by the government of Uzbekistan aims to remove these barriers. It will create a legal framework for granting refugee status and ensure compliance with international standards regarding human rights and refugee protection. This will not only improve the lives of refugees but also strengthen Uzbekistan’s position on the international stage as a country willing to provide humanitarian assistance and support.

The draft law is an important step forward, but much work remains to be done for its implementation and practical application. The introduction of such a law will give Afghan citizens in Uzbekistan the opportunity to obtain legal status, ensuring their access to essential rights and services, including education, healthcare, and employment.

Thus, the creation of an asylum system in Uzbekistan will become a key component of a comprehensive strategy to protect refugee rights and fulfill the country’s humanitarian commitments.

Safety in detail

Mirzamakhmudov emphasized that modern nuclear power plants are equipped with autonomous systems capable of operating for 72 hours without human intervention in case of an emergency. These systems ensure reactor cooling, prevent core meltdown, and safely vitrify the molten material, significantly reducing the risk of radiation release. He noted that even in the worst-case scenarios, the likelihood of a catastrophe is minimal due to the multi-level safety systems in place.

«Even in the event of a power outage, the cooling system is automatically activated, initiating a process similar to a meltdown trap. However, modern reactors are significantly safer: they are capable of preventing disasters and neutralizing potential threats,» the minister explained.

Advantages of low-power NPPs

The future NPP in Jizzakh region will have a capacity of 330 MW, consisting of six reactors, each with a capacity of 55 MW. «Rosatom» will be the general contractor for the construction, with local companies also involved in the project. The project includes the use of the latest Russian technology — the RITM-200N water-cooled reactor, adapted for land-based installation.

The RITM-200N has a thermal capacity of 190 MW, an electrical capacity of 55 MW, and is designed for a service life of up to 60 years. This technology has been tested on Russian nuclear icebreakers operating in the harsh conditions of the Arctic, proving its reliability and resilience.

According to experts, low-power nuclear power plants, such as the one in Jizzakh, have several key advantages. They feature shorter construction times due to their compact design and smaller scale. According to data from the IAEA, around 50 projects of low-power NPPs are currently under development worldwide, highlighting their importance for the future of global nuclear energy.

High safety standards

One of the most important aspects of a low-power NPP is its high level of safety. The plant will be equipped with multi-level systems and containment barriers. These systems include both active (requiring external power sources) and passive safety systems, which operate without an energy supply. This combination ensures the highest level of safety and prevents the likelihood of accidents.

In addition, multiple levels of containment barriers, built into the design of the plant, eliminate the possibility of radioactive releases into the environment, making the NPP as environmentally safe as possible.

Сообщение The Minister of Energy explained why Uzbekistan decided to build a nuclear power plant появились сначала на Vaib.uz.

The main goal of the partnership is to introduce innovative technologies into Uzbekistan’s agricultural sector, which plays a significant role in the country’s economy. MERAQUE plans to contribute to increasing the efficiency of the agricultural industry by organizing the production and deployment of drones to manage agricultural processes.

These drones will automate tasks such as crop monitoring, fertilization, pest control, and resource optimization, ultimately reducing costs associated with agricultural work. As part of the partnership, a strategy will also be developed to create a drone ecosystem that will position Uzbekistan as a leader in agricultural technology across the post-Soviet space.

Over the next three years, MERAQUE Group plans to invest approximately 20 million Malaysian ringgit (about $5 million) to establish a cutting-edge drone manufacturing facility in Uzbekistan. This project is expected to create around 1,000 new jobs and have a positive impact on the country’s economy by servicing about 100,000 hectares of agricultural land.

The manufacturing capabilities and drone deployment will be supported by training programs for farmers and agricultural specialists. The Malaysian company plans to share its knowledge and advanced technologies to improve professional training in Uzbekistan and develop a sustainable agricultural system.

This project marks a significant step in the development of Uzbekistan’s agricultural sector and the attraction of foreign investment to the country. The use of drones and other robotic solutions opens up new horizons for improving productivity and efficiency in farming. With 4.3 million hectares of agricultural land, Uzbekistan will be able to manage its resources more effectively and optimize operations in the agro-industrial sector.

Additionally, the company plans to attract an additional 30 million ringgit ($7.1 million) in subsequent stages of the project.
