In honor of the 100th anniversary of Kyrgyz journalism, Information and Press Day, a group of journalists and students from the American University of Central Asia (AUCA) climbed Komsomolets Peak (4,204 meters). The participants of the climb appealed to the President of the Kyrgyz Republic with an initiative to name one of the mountain peaks Freedom of Speech Peak (Soz Erkindigi).
The initiative is aimed at supporting freedom of the press and independent journalism in Kyrgyzstan.
