He is charged with incitement of inter-regional hostility (hatred), committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy.

According to Zholdubaeva, the issue of extension of house arrest of the deputies of SDPK parliamentary faction Asel Koduranova and Irina Karamushkina will also be resolved today.

The measure of restraint to the former employee of the Ninth Service of the State Committee for National Security Kanat Sagymbaev will also be considered today. As his lawyer Bakytbek uulu Avtandil previously said to 24.kg news agency, his client refuses to answer questions of investigators.
