The People's Democratic Party of Ukraine (NDPU) has spoken out against public censure of residents through "plaques of shame."

The People's Democratic Party of Uzbekistan (PDPU) expressed its disagreement with the practice of publicly shaming citizens during community improvement events. This statement follows an initiative by the administration of the Chinaz District of Tashkent Region, which began installing signs reading "Mahalla of Shame" and "House of Shame" in areas with unsatisfactory neighborhood conditions.

The PDPU emphasized that, despite the importance of community improvement projects, their implementation should not violate the honor, dignity, and rights of citizens.

The party believes that public shaming should be replaced by developing cooperation with the public and providing tangible assistance. At the same time, local authorities are obligated to fulfill their responsibilities, including maintaining infrastructure, organizing waste collection, and creating comfortable conditions for residents.

The PDPU called on government agencies to abandon methods that could be perceived as pressure on citizens and to adhere to the principles of the rule of law and respectful communication. Earlier, the Anti-Corruption Agency demanded an internal investigation into the Shahrisabz district governor after he publicly reprimanded a local resident for leaving her home in disarray.
