According to an academician Omarbai Narbekov, the current authorities, like the previous ones, are afraid of Sadyr Japarov, because he tells the truth. «He should not be afraid of. He is worried about the future, about the fate of the Kyrgyz people,» he added.

Sadyr Japarov applied for a pardon to the president. However, the pardon commission under the head of state sent his petition to the State Penitentiary Service for revision due to a lack of documents.

Courts of all instances sentenced the former deputy Sadyr Japarov to 11 years and 6 months in prison colony for complicity in organizing a rally in Karakol in 2013. He was convicted under the Article 227 «Hostage-taking» of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.

Supporters of Sadyr Japarov continue to collect signatures for his release.
