Rally in support of deputy Adakhan Madumarov takes place near City Court

A rally in support of a deputy of the Parliament of Kyrgyzstan Adakhan Madumarov is taking place near the City Court Building.

The second instance court will consider the lawyer’s complaint against the preventive measure for Adakhan Madumarov today.

Participants of the protest demand to release the deputy. They chant that Adakhan Madumarov is not a traitor to the homeland and cannot be.

Adakhan Madumarov was charged with treason. He was detained on September 2 and, by court decision, placed in the pre-trial detention center of the State Committee for National Security.

Earlier, the Parliament agreed to prosecute deputy Adakhan Madumarov. The case concerns a protocol signed in 2009 in Khujand. Adakhan Madumarov, being the secretary of the Security Council, signed with the Tajik side the minutes of the working meeting of the heads of state bodies of the two countries chaired by the secretaries of the Security Councils. According to the document, the Kyrgyz side leased a plot of land from Tajikistan with an area of 5 hectares and a length of 275 meters for 49 years. The protocol was adopted after negotiations in Khujand. Officials harmonized domestic procedures for signing an intergovernmental agreement to ban economic activity along the state border line until its demarcation and delimitation is completed.
