Ex-prime minister of Kyrgyzstan Zhantoro Satybaldiev has been discharged from the Bishkek Research Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics. Own sources told 24.kg news agency.

The former head of the Cabinet of Ministers was operated on.

«Zhantoro Satybaldiev had a hernia of the lumbar vertebrae. After the operation, he was in the ward under escort. He was discharged and transported to the prison colony,» the sources said.

Zhantoro Satybaldiev is serving a sentence within a criminal case against specialists in energetics.
