Information surfaced on social media about a woman and her child being oppressed in the Uzun district of Surkhandarya region. The regional Department of Internal Affairs confirmed this fact.
According to law enforcement, a resident of the district, Sh.A., collaborated with relatives and detained his co-wife, born in 1997, along with her five-month-old baby in the cattle shed. The woman and the infant were kept in unsanitary conditions and were subjected to violence.
A neighbourhood inspector who arrived at the scene opened the premises and found the injured. Currently, the mother and child are in the hospital: the woman is in the surgery department, and the baby is in the maternity ward. Their condition is under the close supervision of doctors and social protection agencies.

All of them are in custody.
The investigation has been placed under special supervision by the Surkhandarya Regional Department of Internal Affairs, and forensic medical examinations have been ordered.
