During an open session on August 24, the Supreme Court of Uzbekistan rehabilitated an additional 240 individuals who were victims of repression during the period from 1920 to 1931. This information was reported by the press service of the Supreme Court of Uzbekistan.
A total of five criminal cases were reviewed by the Supreme Court. The list of victims of repression was compiled by a republican working group established by the order of Uzbekistan's President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on October 8, 2020, with the aim of more deeply studying the legacy and preserving the memory of the victims of repression.
According to the case materials, during the period from 1929 to 1931, in various districts within the territory of modern Karakalpakstan, Surkhandarya, Navoi, Samarkand, and Kashkadarya regions, 240 citizens of the Uzbek SSR and Kazakh SSR were accused of participating in the Basmachi movement, forming armed gangs, and engaging in activities aimed at armed uprisings or counter-revolutionary activities against the Soviet government.
The Supreme Court upheld the protests filed with the judicial board on criminal cases by the Deputy Prosecutor General of Uzbekistan regarding these criminal cases. As a result, in accordance with Article 83 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Grounds for Rehabilitation), 240 individuals (as listed) were rehabilitated.
Previously, an additional 616 individuals were rehabilitated. Thus, the total number of rehabilitated citizens of Uzbekistan has reached 856 individuals.
