Supporters of ex-MP Omurbek Tekebayev repeatedly gather on the Old square in Bishkek. More than 500 people are awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court.

The participants of the protest rally demand acquittal and release of the former deputy Omurbek Tekebayev and the former head of the Emergency Situations Ministry Duishenkul Chotonov.
