On April 24, 2025, under the leadership of the Commissioner  of  Oliy Majlis for Human Rights (Ombudsman), members of the Public Groups operating within the framework of the National Preventive Mechanism (NPM) conducted monitoring visits to several penitentiary institutions in Navoi region. Representatives of the media also participated in the visits.

The first destination was the Temporary Detention Center in Navoi city. During the monitoring, the team assessed the living conditions, food supply, access to medical services, and the facilities for investigation and meetings with lawyers for detainees.

Next, the team visited Correctional Colony No. 11 in Navoi city. Here, 14 vocational training circles have been established to teach inmates skills such as sewing, electrical work, beekeeping, livestock and poultry farming, agriculture, carpentry, soft furniture production, and English language.
