Samarkand to create a 'Najot' center for children affected by crimes, modeled on Barnahus
The President of Uzbekistan adopted a resolution on additional measures to improve the system of social protection of children. In Samarkand, based on the Icelandic Barnahus model, a 'Najot' center will be created, where from October 20 interrogations and other procedural actions with minor victims will be conducted with mandatory audio and video recording. The recordings may be used in court without summoning the child. From 2027, such children will be guaranteed free legal assistance.
