UN investigates complaints of Aleksey Eliseev and Kadyrzhan Batyrov

UN Committee on the Protection of Human Rights investigates complaints of Aleksey Eliseev and Kadyrzhan Batyrov.

Aleksey Eliseev today confirmed this information to 24.kg news agency, noting that he has filed a complaint in 2014.

According to him, he pointed out that Kyrgyzstan had violated the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights dated December 16, 1966. "I' deprived of access to justice because the courts of Kyrgyzstan refuse to consider my suits. I'm not formally charged with any accusations. Up to now there is no notification of alleged charged to me acts," Aleksey Eliseev said.

He also added that the mass media of Kyrgyzstan hold discrediting campaign against him. He considers it as a slander.

Former confidant of Maksim Bakiyev said that "the lawyer archive was confiscated during illegal searches."

"My rights as a lawyer also violated," he added.

According to him, the UN Committee on Human Rights has repeatedly sent letters to the authorities of the Kyrgyz Republic on his complaint. However, the reaction hasn't followed. 

Recall, the first Kyrgyz citizen, who requested the restoration of the rights in the UN human rights committee, was the leader of Ar-Namys party Felix Kulov.

The UN Committee on Human Rights also concerned the fate of the condemned to life imprisonment human rights defender Azimzhan Askarov. His criminal case now is being reviewed in Chui oblast court. 

The former leader of the Uzbek diaspora Kadyrzhan Batyrov also sent his complaint to the UN Committee on Human Rights.

Earlier it was reported that Interpol has stopped the international search of Aleksey Eliseev and refused Kyrgyzstan in search of Kadyrzhan Batyrov.
