After being dismissed as the chief of the Jalal-Abad region police department, Jenishbek Abitov has been appointed as the head of the Sverdlovsk district police department in Bishkek. This information was confirmed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs press service.
Jenishbek Abitov's appointment comes after his dismissal following an official investigation into the harsh detention of a father and son at the Kochkor-Ata market. The National Center for the Prevention of Torture described the detention as cruel treatment of individuals and has addressed the Prosecutor General's Office regarding the matter.
In a recent incident at Kochkor-Ata, a young man jumped into a crowd of special forces officers to protect his father. The video of the incident went viral on social media, sparking outrage and discussions about police conduct and use of force.
