DUSHANBE, April 7, 2014, Asia-Plus – Iranian physicians will perform surgery on Tajik soldier Shahbol Mirzoyev, who was severely beaten by medic Usmon Ghayratov.
“Iranian physicians will arrive in Tajikistan in a week and the surgery will be performed in the International Ibn Sina Clinic in Dushanbe,” Shahbol’s farther, Numon Mirzoyev, told Asia-Plus in an interview on April 7.
“The price for this surgery is more than 64,000 Euros and military unit 2026, in which medic Usmon Ghayratov serves, will pay for the surgery,” Numon Mirzoyev said, noting that the preliminary agreement on that was reached on March 18 after computed tomography scan was carried out on his son.
Meanwhile, Numon Mirzoyev has not yet received reply to his letter to President Emomali Rahmon. Last month, Numon Mirzoyev has applied to President Emomali Rahmon with solicitation to take investigation into the incident under his personal control.
Medic of military unit 2026 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.
Shahbol’s father, 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.
