The family of international master of sports in kickboxing Alen Ofoio has faced serious legal consequences following a road incident. Eliza Omurbekova, the athlete's spouse, claims she was the victim of an attack that resulted in the loss of her child, yet she was ultimately found guilty.
Chronology of the conflict
The incident occurred on October 22, 2023, in Bishkek. According to Eliza Omurbekova, the conflict began when a BMW X7 driver cut off her Lexus RX, forcing her to stop.
After stopping, a woman exited the SUV, opened Omurbekova's driver-side door, and began striking her. According to the victim, the BMW driver later joined in the beating. Eliza states she warned the attackers about her pregnancy, but this did not stop them.
"The two of them began beating me. And there was nothing I could do there."
Legal consequences
Instead of receiving protection, the couple found themselves in the dock. According to Omurbekova, the court not only found her guilty but also issued a ruling for her deportation from Kyrgyzstan. Consequently, the family is asking President Sadyr Japarov and the Supreme Court to look into their situation and review the decisions of the investigation and the courts.
