The law was submitted for consideration of the Legislative Chamber in line with the initiative of the Prosecutor-General of Uzbekistan.

The document introduces amendments to article 177 of Criminal Code of Uzbekistan, envisaging release of people from responsibility if they voluntary inform about planned or committed crime, as well as active participation in its investigation.

During the discussion, representatives of Adolat Social-Democratic Party of Uzbekistan noted that the amendments are directed at stimulating citizens to cooperation with law enforcement bodies in order to timely exposure of crimes and preventing their consequences, as well as guarantee them release from responsibility.

MPs approved the concept of the draft law and adopted it in the first reading.
