According to the Ombudsman press service, during the meeting, public opinion was studied about the demonstrations in Karakalpakstan and the reasons for their occurrence.
The issue of managing and financing citizens by external forces was also raised.
“In addition, public opinion was studied about the protesters’ inner feelings and measures taken by law enforcement agencies to calm the population. At the same time, the main attention was paid to revealing the facts of violation of human rights and obstruction of individual freedoms,” the report reads.
Was the demonstration prepared in advance or was it a situation caused by a sudden awakening of protest moods among citizens? This issue was raised on the Ombudsman website.
The answer was as follows: “There was a “heated” discussion around this issue”.
Members of the commission were also interested in the opinion of human rights activists on the changes that have taken place in Karakalpakstan in recent years. At the meeting, all opinions of human rights activists and representatives of NGOs were heard, and the necessary information was obtained.
“Currently, the data collected are being studied in the established manner,” the commission concludes.
