Sadyr Japarov not released under house arrest

The court did not uphold the motion of the lawyers of ex-deputy Sadyr Japarov on changing the measure of restraint for house arrest.

He is a person involved in a criminal case initiated under a number of articles of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic. In particular, he is accused of taking a hostage, hooliganism and attempted murder. Sadyr Japarov does not admit his guilt.

Recall, the defendant nominated his candidacy for the presidential elections, which will be held in October 2017.
