The investigative department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is conducting an investigation into a criminal case that encompasses articles 41 part 2, 36, and 278 part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, related to the organization and preparation for mass riots.
On February 9, information appeared on social networks and in the media that 75 citizens sent an appeal to President Sadyr Japarov and then-Speaker of the Jogorku Kenesh Nurlanbek Turgunbek uulu, requesting the immediate holding of new presidential elections in Kyrgyzstan. Among those who signed the appeal were representatives of science, former prime ministers, ex-deputies, and public figures.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs noted that some formulations in the appeal caused "widespread discussion among the population and exacerbated the socio-political situation in the country."
On February 11, Talgarkbekov, Dyykanbaev, and Uzakbaev were detained, and on the same day, Asanov and Karashev were also detained.
