A tragic incident occurred in Izmir, Turkey: 22-year-old Uzbek woman Sevdora Hakimjonova fell from the fourth floor of a building and died in hospital. This was reported by the Consulate General of Uzbekistan in Istanbul.

Hakimjonova was admitted to the hospital on March 17 in serious condition and treated for five days. Despite medical interventions, it was impossible to save her life.

The Consulate General and the Migration Agency under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan are carrying out necessary arrangements to return the body to her homeland. The body will be sent to Uzbekistan on March 23 via the Istanbul—Andijan flight.
