Former member of Parliament of Kyrgyzstan Kanat Isaev was placed under house arrest. Lawyer Beksultan Osmonov informed 24.kg news agency.
According to him, such a decision was made by the Pervomaisky District Court of Bishkek.
«The criminal case against Kanat Isaev was sent to court. It is considered in a closed format in connection with the secrecy regime. The petition to change the measure of restraint was submitted by the defense,» Beksultan Osmonov said.
In September 2017, before the upcoming presidential elections, Kanat Isaev became a defendant in a criminal case on an attempt to seize power by force. Pre-trial proceedings were suspended in April 2019.
Ramis Zhunusaliev, an employee of the Tax Service for Pervomaisky district of Bishkek, and Deniz Raimkulov, the ex-head of the rural administration of Gavrilovka village, Sokuluk district, Chui region, are involved in the case together with him. Later, the measure of restraint for all of them was changed to house arrest.
In 2022, Kanat Isaev, along with other opposition politicians and civil activists, joined the Committee for protection of Kempir-Abad reservoir. After that, the former MP was detained. Then it became known that the case was reopened.
