According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan, the protest shares were terminated in the capital of Karakalpakstan and the “order was restored.”
According to Orda.kz., the rally, according to the police, began about three in the afternoon in the capital of Karakalpastan “as a result of the wrong interpretation of constitutional reforms”.
“In order to prevent violation of public order and suppress by citizens of various offenses, the forces and funds of law enforcement agencies were involved in the territory of the Dekhkansk market. Now police officers are conducting explanatory work with the protesters,” the order has been restored. “
There is no information about the detentions in the message. Also, the ministry did not comment on the detention of journalist Dauletmurat Tazhimuratov.
It was previously reported that in Nukus during the protests, problems with communications and the Internet began. The protesters in the square deployed the flags of Karakalpastan and chanted Daulet, apparently expressing support to journalist Tazhimuratov, whose detention was reported by his relatives and lawyer. The journalist was detained, presumably, after he was calling for a rally.
