The Yukorichirchik administrative court found them guilty of committing administrative offenses under Articles 54, 183 and 194 of the Administrative Responsibility Code of Uzbekistan.
According to the press service of the Supreme Court, 4 of those arrested are women.
“In accordance with the documents, on April 1, at about 8 pm, 7 citizens violated the established quarantine rules, refused to fulfill the requirements of internal affairs officers and employees of the “Energetik” sanatorium, committed hooliganism in a public place, causing a disorder,” the Supreme Court said in a statement.
The information provided by the Prosecutor General’s Office to Kun.uz states that these citizens were brought back from Dubai on a charter flight on March 17, and the conflict situation occurred on April 1 - on the 15th day of their quarantine period.
