Mutabar Tadjibayeva: How long will you play the hypocrite, Mr.Shodiev?
“As for Mutabar Tadjibayeva: You know, when a person has nowhere to go and nobody to apply to, well, it is his or her nature to invent various legends. Tadjibayeva is no exception. When she was serving a sentence in a women’s prison in 2008, she was sick very much, she had cancer, female cancel, well, as they say, it was cancer. She asked for help with tears in her eyes. In such cases, we are obliged to provide [help] and get consent of the convicted or sentenced person to deliver certain medical care. A surgery on the person was successfully performed, for which she expressed appreciation several times, and she was released, as they say, on parole to get further treatment. Later on she started spreading all sorts of necessary-unnecessary talks saying what you want to hear.” (Shodiev’s words are provided unchanged – Jarayon’s note).
