Activists will hold a march in Bishkek with calls not to restrict freedom of speech. Social media users report.
It is noted that the march will take place on Friday at 1 p.m. The participants plan to march from the railway station to Ala-Too square.
About 20 people staged a rally near the office of Radio Azattyk in the capital on Thursday. Most of the participants wore medical masks and hid their faces. They demanded to shut down three independent media in Kyrgyzstan — Azattyk, Kloop and Kaktus.media.
According to the protesters, deputy Nadira Narmatova supported them. On Wednesday, at a meeting of the Parliament, she organized a collection of signatures under some appeal to the President with a request to close a number of media outlets.
Nadira Narmatova herself denied this initiative.
