SCNS Records Over 200 False Reports of Terrorism in Two Years
The State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan (SCNS) has taken action to address the issue of false reports of terrorist attacks in educational institutions in Bishkek. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in false reports, with 179 cases recorded in 2023. However, due to the measures taken by the SCNS, this number was reduced to 33 in 2024.
To address this issue, the SCNS conducted explanatory and preventive work with the heads of educational institutions in Bishkek. A meeting was held with over 160 directors of schools, colleges, and technical schools to discuss the negative consequences of false reports, such as disruption of the educational process and the wastage of government resources.
The SCNS emphasized the importance of stepping up outreach work among students, involving school psychologists, teachers, and parent committees. It was highlighted that individuals found to be responsible for knowingly making false reports of terrorism will face legal consequences, with parents of minors being held liable under the Code of Offenses.
The participants were reminded of the serious repercussions of such actions and the need to identify individuals potentially prone to making false reports. The SCNS stressed the importance of cooperation between educational institutions and law enforcement agencies to prevent future incidents.
Overall, the SCNS is taking proactive measures to address the issue of false reports of terrorist threats in educational institutions and ensure the safety and security of students and staff.
