The court hearing of the case of supporters of former parliament deputy Sadyr Japarov was postponed until June 1.

During the hearing the day before, the defendants' lawyers filed a petition to change the measure of restraint to their clients to house arrest. They explained this by the fact that the defendants had no intention of escaping responsibility. Lawyers assured that the defendants would not flee the country.

However, Judge Marat Sydykov dismissed the petition. As a result, the trial was postponed until June 1.
