According to the latest reports, documentary operator Bulat Satarkulov was also brought in for questioning.
The activists intended to hold a peaceful gathering on March 13 from 10:00 to 11:00 in front of the administration building of the Pervomaisky District. The main goal of the event was to advocate for citizens' right to freedom of peaceful assembly, which is enshrined in both the Constitution and international treaties.
We remind you that the rally was a response to the ongoing discussion of certain provisions of the law "On Peaceful Assemblies." In December 2025, Tolekan Ismailova and Bermet Borubaeva appealed to the Constitutional Court, requesting that some norms of this law be declared unconstitutional, as they allow local authorities to restrict the location, time, and route of rallies.
Previously, the court refused to accept their appeal, citing non-compliance with formal requirements. The activists view this as an obstacle to access to constitutional justice and on February 2, they filed a complaint requesting a reconsideration of their case.
Additionally, the Pervomaisky District Court of Bishkek extended the ban on holding rallies in the city center. Currently, the only place where actions are permitted remains the Maxim Gorky Park.
