Court leaves Sadyr Japarov in pre-trial detention center

The court refused to satisfy the request of Sadyr Japarov’s lawyer Sharabidin Toktosunov about changing the measure of restraint for house arrest to the defendant.

«I ask, considering his services to the fatherland and the fact that the victim himself asks to acquit Japarov, to release him for house arrest,» the lawyer said.

Recall, Sadyr Japarov was sentenced by the Pervomaiskiy District Court to 11.5 years of the colony with a reinforced regime. He was acquitted under three articles of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic — «Hooliganism», «The Threat of Murder» and «Use of violence against a representative of the authorities». However, was found guilty under Article 227 «Hostage Taking».
