Supporters of Bakyt Zhetigenov hold rally near White House in Bishkek

Supporters of a parliamentary deputy Bakyt Zhetigenov hold a rally in Bishkek near the White House building.

About 20 supporters of the deputy, who is accused of attempt to seize power, demand to release him. According to the protesters, Bakyt Zhetigenov was groundlessly accused of a grave crime.

The MPs are considering the Prosecutor General’s submission on giving consent to prosecution of Bakyt Zhetigenov.

Bakyt Zhetigenov is suspected of attempt to seize power. He was detained and placed in a pre-trial detention center. The investigation believes that he entered into an agreement with the leader of El Yntymagy association Askat Temraliev. Members of this movement and Bakytbek Zhetigenov were organizing mass protests in the capital, after which a violent seizure of power was to take place.
