A teacher at the private "Amin kids" kindergarten in the Gavoy district of Navoi region, Uzbekistan, has been accused of regularly beating and verbally abusing children. The incident occurred on April 7 in the "Yangiaryoq" neighborhood, where the teacher, identified as E.N. (born 2003), allegedly used physical violence against children under the pretext of "maintaining order."

A video circulated on social media shows the teacher shouting at children, pulling them, hitting them, and kicking them. An investigation by the Navoi Regional Department of Preschool and School Education revealed that from March to April, she systematically mistreated the children, taking advantage of their vulnerability.

Criminal proceedings have been initiated against E.N. under Part 2 of Article 110 of the Criminal Code of Uzbekistan (Torture), and she has been detained. The kindergarten's operations have been temporarily suspended. This case has sparked significant public outrage and concern among parents, highlighting ongoing issues in child protection systems within the region.
