Tajik citizen sentenced for the second time for attacking an employee

The Kurgan City Court found a 32-year-old citizen of the Republic of Tajikistan guilty of “disrupting the activities of a correctional institution” and “assaulting a colony employee.”

It is noted that the man was convicted in 2024 for causing serious harm to a police officer and had been held in pre-trial detention since then.

According to the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee for the Kurgan Region, the citizen of Tajikistan, who was in a punishment isolation cell, refused to comply with the lawful demands of a colony employee, and during the conflict, he used violence against the staff member and insulted him.

The name of the Tajik citizen is not disclosed. The statement notes that he violated the established rules of conduct in correctional institutions.

“By the verdict of the Kurgan City Court for committing the aforementioned crime, the convicted person was sentenced to three years and one month of imprisonment in a strict regime correctional colony,” the Investigative Committee’s statement says.

The convicted individual, his lawyer, or relatives are unavailable for comments.
