In October 2022, law enforcement officers arrested more than 20 politicians and activists on suspicion of “preparing to organize mass riots”. Since then, they have been in custody. According to the arrested persons themselves, the criminal case against them was “fabricated”. They claim that their position on the Kempirabad water reservoir and the creation of a committee for its protection is not favorable to the Kyrgyz authorities. A number of major human rights organizations have condemned the detention of politicians and activists.
On January 18, lawyer Gulyana Ubalieva reported that the Interior Ministry had imposed strict secrecy on the “Kempirabad affair”. However, the Interior Ministry refused to comment on this decision to “Azattyky”.
The representative of the institute, the mediator and the independent doctor have repeatedly stated that there were health problems among some of the participants.
President Sadyr Japarov, commenting on the accused’s arrest, said that “more than 90% of those arrested today took part in closed-door discussions on the border issue and should know that the issue was resolved in Kempir-Aba in favor of the KR”. According to him, the prisoners “people of the country” tried to organize a “coup d’etat”.
