Media community of Osh city appealed to the President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov in connection with the attack on journalist Ydyrys Isakov.
Media representatives demand to bring the former director of Osh resort, Mamatkarim Koichukulov, to justice and ask the head of state to take the case under his personal control.
«The attack on journalist Ydyrys Isakov while on duty is a criminal act aimed at discrediting the media representative and a blow to freedom of speech. Ydyrys Isakov is a freelance journalist. We believe that the requirements of the law and journalistic ethics have been observed in his investigation into Osh resort case,» they say.
The former director of Osh resort Mamatkarim Koichukulov hit the journalist several times. Ydyrys Isakov posted video of the attack on Facebook. The incident occurred during the preparation of a material on the privatization of the property of Osh resort.
