Rallies organized by opposition supporters in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek developed into mass disturbances and bloodbaths. The crowd broke the doors of the government building and rushed into the White House. People were carrying computers and other equipment out of the buildings.
The participants in the disturbances broke windows and engaged in scuffles with the police, beat civilians, even some opposition leaders were hurt. At the same time similar crowds looted banks, currency exchange centers, stores. Local citizens don’t leave their homes and prevent children from going to school. Stores are not working, many institutions are closed. The exact number of victims is unknown so far.
Disturbances in Kyrgyzstan began a few days ago. They were organized by opposition representatives that lost the parliamentary elections. In the southern regional centers of Osh and Jelal-Abad demonstrations organized by the opposition developed into the seizure of regional administration and interior administration buildings, prosecutor’s offices, national security authorities. Thus, large cities of Kyrgyzstan fell hostages to the uncontrolled crowds, and neither official authorities nor the opposition is able to cope with the situation. 57 inmates were released from jail in Osh. According to one opposition leader, former Prime Minister Kurmanbek Bakiyev, he did not expect such developments.
