Female students find hidden camera in their dormitory room in Kokand State Pedagogical Institute

After we opened our room, Ravshan Mahkamov, the head of KSPI dormitory, took us out of our room, saying “you should leave without disturbing the masters”.

When we were far away, they spoke in whispers, and when we got closer, they raised their voices and changed the topic.

On Sunday, April 2, when we got home late, our parents were curious about our late arrival. We have said everything. They asked if we had a Wi-Fi router in our room, we said “no”. They asked if they wired the Wi-Fi device to that tool, we said “no”. Then our family members said: “Try opening that device, if it’s not connected to Wi-Fi, it must be something else”.

On Monday, after we arrived at the dormitory, we opened that box. During our opening process, one screw above appeared to be broken.

We took the installed equipment out of its place and showed it to a specialist, and it turned out to be a hidden camera,” one of the girls staying in the room said.

The girls said they did not know if hidden cameras were installed in other rooms of the dormitory.

After that, the girls called 102 service number (police department) and filed a complaint. They also submitted an application to the presidential portal. The application was sent to the local prophylactic inspector. He is studying the case. It is said that the inspector reports to the vice-rector for spiritual and educational affairs Oybek Bozorov on every identified detail.

The girls complained about this incident and approached the rector of the institute, Dilnozakhon Khodjayeva.

“The rector did not even acknowledge our greetings. After hearing us, she said: “how did you know it was a hidden camera?” We told her that we opened it and showed it to a specialist. “What right do you have to open the property of the institute installed in your rooms? Maybe you installed it yourself?”, the rector shouted at us,” the girls said.

The girls, who turned to vice-rector Oybek Bozorov with tears in their eyes, said that “our nakedness was also recorded on video”. According to them, the vice-rector criticized the students for calling 102 service number.

The students said that the vice-rector explained this situation by the fact that it was planned to move the complaining girls from this room and accommodate another troublesome girl there, but he did not have time to move them.

In fact, in such a case, the rector and vice-rector should be held accountable. This is exactly what happens in normal countries. We also want to become a normal country by changing the Constitution. Let’s start this work from KSPI...
