It is no secret that the sharp deterioration of the weather in the country has caused a number of difficulties in the life of society. These days, the Regional representatives of the Ombudsman made monitoring visits to study the conditions of detention of persons held in closed institutions with limited freedom of movement.

In particular, on January 12 and 14, 2023, the Regional Representative of the Authorized Person of the Oliy Majlis for Human Rights (Ombudsman) in the Khorezm region, Odilbek Ollayorov, made monitoring visits to the Khorezm regional branch of the Republican Specialized Scientific Narcological Center and Practical Medicine and Detention Center No. 11.

When checking the heat, electricity and gas supply of the regional branch of the Narcology Center in the Khorezm region, it was found that the building of the institution is heated using two coal-fired heating boilers and provided with a sufficient amount of coal reserves.
