Note: This information is not a legal conclusion and serves to inform about the latest developments in the judicial proceedings.
The first-instance court for criminal cases has issued a ruling restricting Ms. Bulgan Tuya's ability to leave the territory of Mongolia.
Context: Previously, a judge of a lower court rejected the prosecutor's request to initiate criminal proceedings against Ms. Khurelbaatar, who was accused of organizing and participating in an attempted violent seizure of power in the highest legislative body. The prosecutor appealed this decision to the chief judge.
On January 28, 2026, the chief judge reviewed the prosecutor's appeal. Considering the evidence collected and the need to prevent interference in the criminal proceedings, the court changed the previous decision and imposed a travel ban until the proceedings are concluded.
Summary prepared by Ms. Khaliun Borolzoi, head of the district court of first instance for criminal and civil cases in simplified proceedings.
