President Sadyr Japarov has approved a new law concerning amendments to the Criminal Code.

This law was approved by the Jogorku Kenesh on September 25, 2025.

As reported by the press service of the head of state, the main goal of this law is to create the necessary legal framework for the protection of individuals engaged in official or professional activities, as well as those fulfilling public duties. In particular, this concerns medical workers, educators, and other specialists who may become victims of violent actions.

The amendments made to Articles 136 and 280 of the Criminal Code aim to tighten responsibility for violence against those who perform their official duties or public obligations.

Specifically, the law introduces criminal liability for causing minor harm to health that leads to temporary impairment or minor permanent loss of capacity to work, if this occurs in connection with the professional activities or public duties of the victim (part 2 of Article 136 of the Criminal Code). For this act, a penalty in the form of a fine from 500 to 1000 calculated indicators (50,000 to 100,000 soms) is provided.

Similar amendments concern Article 280 of the Criminal Code, which establishes sanctions for hooligan actions directed against individuals performing official or public duties.

This article also provides for a fine ranging from 500 to 1000 calculated indicators or imprisonment for a term of three to five years.
