15:14 - A minor was forced to leave the mosque in Friday prayer
Department of Internal Affairs officers of Bektemir district of Tashkent region took a 14 year old boy out of the "Kuylik ota" mosque by pulling his hair on Friday prayer on June 2 of this year. Despite the worshippers' intervention, the boy couldn't get free and was forced out.

The worshippers were dissatisfied, but nobody wanted conflict in such a critical situation.

Keep in mind that Uzbek officers restricted minors' mosque visits and public prayers but due to the absence of a written law about this restriction, officers follow oral commands.
