Uzbekistan Cracks Down on Human Trafficking Offenders with Tougher Penalties

Amendments Strengthen Penalties for Human Trafficking Crimes Against Pregnant Women

During the recent second plenary session of the Senate, a significant bill discussing the strengthening of penalties for human trafficking crimes was brought to light. The bill, titled “On Amendments to Article 135 of the Criminal Code Regarding the Strengthening of Penalties for Human Trafficking Crimes,” was thoroughly analyzed and debated by senators.

It was emphasized during the session that continuous efforts are being put forth to protect the rights, freedoms, and legal interests of citizens, as well as to combat human trafficking and provide comprehensive support to victims of such crimes. The fight against human trafficking has been methodically organized, with the implementation of state-level policies to support victims and offer legal protection for Uzbek citizens both domestically and abroad.

One key highlight of the discussion was the significant increase in penalties for individuals who commit human trafficking crimes using methods such as force, threats, or coercion. In addition to this, it was proposed during the session to introduce amendments that would impose harsher penalties specifically for those who commit human trafficking crimes against pregnant women.

Senators expressed their belief that the enforcement of this law would play a pivotal role in preventing human trafficking-related crimes, allowing for effective measures to combat them, ensuring appropriate punishments for offenders, and ultimately strengthening the protection of the rights of children and women.

At the conclusion of the discussion, the bill was approved by the senators, signaling a step forward in the ongoing battle against human trafficking and the protection of vulnerable individuals, particularly pregnant women.
