In Kyrgyz-Turkish lyceum for boys " Sebat"  pupils from 9 to 11 classes are  forced to keep during Muslim sacred month Ramazan  abstinence from food and drink for religious purposes . However not all pupils can all the day fast, some children have strongly grown thin, and sink into a  faint. Despite of it they are not authorized to stop an abstinence,  that is negatively reflected in study and their health. The majority of children keeping an abstinence do it not at personal desire or belief, they are afraid to interrupt it.

According to schoolboys to keep an abstinence   them forced the administration of school. Probably it is connected with arrival to a management in Turkey of party Erdogan and Abdulla Gjul - party of cleanly Islamic sense. School "Sebat" is on financing of the state of Turkey and accordingly they lay down the certain conditions.

We address to Minister of Education of the Kyrgyz Republic with an appeal to affect on a management of school,  that they should stop this actions and children with poor health should be acquitted of keeping an abstinence.
