„Spit it out, Bastard, no one is forced to pick cotton!“

After having a published an article on its website about children being summoned to the cotton harvest in the Kashkadarya region, Radio Ozodlik received a phone call from the representative of the Kasby district Department of National Education Mr. Shaimardanov.

In his conversation with a journalist, the officer denied the information about child labour, underlining the love for his motherland, and categorically refused to answer to any of the journalist’s questions.
