Businessman Imamidin Tashov injured himself deliberately to attract public attention. The press center of the State Committee for National Security (SCNS) reported.
According to its data, on October 30 at 9 a.m. during a routine round, the staff of the pre-trial detention center found two cut and stab wounds in the abdomen of the detainee. The medical staff provided first aid until the ambulance arrived.
The medical team decided to take Imamidin Tashov to the 4th city hospital. At that time his condition was assessed as stable.
According to the words of Tashov’s cellmate, the latter had a disposable razor blade, which he used to inflict bodily injuries.
According to some information, Imamidin Tashov was purposefully preparing for suicidal actions in collusion with his close relatives.
«During the examination by the surgeon of the 4th city hospital, Tashov allegedly complained about torture in the SCNS pre-trial detention center. This is not true, as evidenced by CCTV cameras around the entire perimeter of the pre-trial detention center. At the same time, the SCNS notified the prosecutor’s office and called employees of the National Center for Prevention of Torture. Imamidin Tashov flatly refused to answer the latter’s questions,» the statement says.
By the decision of the Pervomaisky District Court, the founder of the construction company KG Group was transferred to the pre-trial detention center No. 21.
The businessman’s mother asked President Sadyr Japarov to take control of the case and release her son under house arrest.
Recall, Imamidin Tashov was charged with an attempt to violently seize power, public calls for the seizure of power, and illegal crossing of the state border.

According to the State Committee for National Security, he allegedly planned to organize a temporary headquarters in Kara-Balta to consolidate forces for a protest with a subsequent seizure of power. While being wanted, Imamidin Tashov conducted active recruitment work through social media, the state committee stated.
