Decision No. 225 of the Tashkent City Khokim, dated 19 December 2019, allocated BB Stroy LLC a 0.925-hectare plot of land on Oltintepa Street in Tashkent (1). The decision to award the land to B-B Stroy LLC is based on Protocol N°2 from the 21 January 2019 Meeting of the Working Group for the Implementation of an Experiment to Improve the Investment Climate in Tashkent City (2), which was set up by Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, No. DP-5511 (15 August 2018) (3).
Decision No. 225 sanctioned the construction of multi-story residential buildings, with two parking levels, and a playground for children. As well, 5 per cent of the new flats would be social housing (1). On this plot of land there were eight two-storey residential buildings, each with eight flats, that constructed in the early 1960s for brick factory workers (4). In total, there were 64 private flats and one state post office on the land plot (2).
According to an AsiaTerra news report (19 January 2021), at the beginning of the summer of 2019, BB Stroy LLC demolished several houses, started digging a pit close to other (still inhabited) houses and heavy construction equipment was brought close to occupied houses (4).
The news report states that in response to these actions, neighbourhood residents contacted the relevant Khokimiyat departments to complain (the Main Department of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Construction and other agencies for construction control) but these organisations failed to suspend the construction (4).
According to the report, one resident, Mavzhuda Mamatkassmova, displayed a banner from the window of her residence upon which was written: "BB-Stroy, settle people first, then build. People live here" and "BB-Stroy, building on people's blood and tears" (4) (5). The report states that the banner was removed by Deputy Khokim of the Mirzo-Ulugbek district Abdulaziz Abdulkhakov and GOM-3 (the city police department). Then BB Stroy LLC sued the resident for defamation and for damaging their reputation, resulting in the permanent removal of the banner by court order (4).
The AsiaTerra news report states that in September 2019, BB Story LLC filed an application with the Mirzo-Ulugbek Inter-District Civil Court for the forced eviction of the remaining residents (4). It also states that in response, residents sued the developer for violation of urban planning regulations, none of which were successful (4). It further states that in the course of these court proceedings, nine families settled with BB Story LLC, and vacated their apartments. The other eight families agreed to the move, but the developer did not want to meet their demands, considering them excessive (4). These eight families have not been resettled and live in two of the remaining houses. Notwithstanding this, construction of the new building continues (4).
After eviction of Mavjuda Mamatkassymova, Zoya Meshalkina and Madina Khasanova, their house was destroyed.
