DUSHANBE, March 19, 2014, Asia-Plus – A group of specialists from Iran have reportedly agreed to perform surgery on Tajik soldier Shahbol Mirzoyev, who was severely beaten by medic Usmon Ghayratov.
Shahbol’s farther, Numon Mirzoyev says that the preliminary agreement was reached on March 18 after computed tomography scan was carried out on his son in the International Ibn Sina Clinic in Dushanbe.
“Iranian doctors also said that the injury is complicated and confirmed that the price for this surgery is more than 64,000 Euros,” said Numon Mirzoyev. “I do not have so much money. I was forced to sell my one-roomed flat in Asht.”
Medic of military unit 20/26 deployed in the Roudaki district, Usmon Ghayratov, reportedly severely beat soldier Shahbol Mirzoyev on March 6.
According to Shahbol Mirzoyev, medic Ghayratov together with other medics began to mock at him and beat him up for no reason. “Mostly Ghayratov was beating me up,” Shahbol noted.
As a result of the beating, Shahbol Mirzoyev suffered a broken neck, paralyzed left leg and injured hands.
Shahbol is currently in Qariyai Bolo hospital in Dushanbe. He was taken to the hospital only 15 hours after the incident.
His father, Numon Mirzoyev, says he has sent tomography scan results to one of hospitals in Germany and they said that it is necessary to perform medical surgery that will cost 64,500 Euros.
According to him, he has applied to President Emomali Rahmon with solicitation to take investigation into that incident under his personal control.
Numon Mirzoyev has noted that Usmon Ghayratov allows himself severe treatment of soldiers because his father works at prosecutor’s office.
Meanwhile, the military prosecutor’s office instituted criminal proceedings against Usmon Ghayratov on March 14. The criminal proceedings were instituted under the provisions of Article 373 of Tajikistan’s Penal Code – violation of military regulations; an investigation is under way.
According to some sources, Usmon Ghayratov is the son of the employee of the Prosecutor-General’s Office, Mahmadsharif Ghayratov.
