The State Committee for National Security (SCNS) has decided to pay compensation to the soldier who was seriously injured in hazing incident.
“After repeated applications, the SCNS on December 18 asked the injured party to provide details of a bank account for transfer of compensation to Shahbol Mirzoyev,” lawyer Gulchehra Kholmatova, who has represented Mirzoyev’s family, told Asia-Plus in an interview.

The Dushanbe military court sentenced a military doctor Usmonali Ghairatov to nine years in jail for seriously damaging Mirzoyev’s health on June 19, 2014. Ghairatov was found guilty of hazing, inflicting bodily harm, and leaving a serviceman in danger.
The court also ruled that Ghairatov must pay 8,000 somoni to Shahbol Mirzoyev''s relatives to compensate for moral damages, and 5,700 somoni to cover Mirzoyev''s treatment in hospital.
