Court extended the term of detention of a businessman Imamidin Tashov. The decision was made by the Pervomaisky District Court of Bishkek, satisfying the investigator’s motion.
At first, the defendant’s lawyer Nursultan Zhanybekov was absent from the hearing, he was participating in another trial at that time and came later.
The second lawyer Samat Matsakov sent a letter to the court, explaining that he could not come «for reasons beyond his control.» Recall, he was arrested on charges of fraud and forgery of documents.
Samat Matsakov asked the court to send a court demand to the State Committee for National Security so that he could be brought to the court hearings of the case against Imamidin Tashov to defend him.
The court refused to satisfy this request, noting that Imamidin Tashov has another lawyer.
On October 29, the Pervomaisky District Court of Bishkek began hearing the criminal case against Imamidin Tashov. He himself was taken from the pretrial detention center to the hospital after suicide attempt.
Recall, Imamidin Tashov was charged with an attempt to violently seize power, public calls for the seizure of power, and illegal crossing of the state border.
He was detained in April in Kaindy village, Chui region. According to the State Committee for National Security, the businessman allegedly planned to organize a temporary headquarters in Kara-Balta to consolidate forces for a protest with a subsequent seizure of power. Being wanted, he carried out active recruitment work through social media, the state committee stated. It also reported that the KG Group company had built six apartment buildings in the capital. However, none of these facilities were put into operation due to unauthorized construction, without permits.
