It should be noted that the agreement with Uzbekistan on the state border, signed in the fall of 2022, became the cause of a political scandal. In October of the same year, activists protesting against the agreement were detained and charged under Article 278 "Organization of Mass Riots." Part of the case materials was classified, which limited the lawyers' access to information. Later, the defendants were charged under Article 326 "Violent Seizure of Power."
On June 14, the court issued an acquittal, but the prosecution filed a request for its cancellation.
Currently, the case is being reviewed in the appellate instance.
