Inmate Irina Karamushkina Asks Sadyr Japarov for Clemency
According to the lawyer's information, the petition was submitted in December 2025 through the administration of the colony where Karamushkina is serving her sentence in the village of Stepnoye.
The lawyer noted that the appeal states that the courts did not take into account witness testimonies, and that the house subject to confiscation was purchased with legal funds. Additionally, Karamushkina requests to be released from further punishment, citing her age, family presence, and elderly mother.
It is worth recalling that the Bishkek City Court increased Karamushkina's sentence to eight years in connection with the events in Koi-Tash.
The judicial process in this case has been ongoing since 2022, and episodes related to the Bishkek CHPP, the Dastan plant, and land plots have been added. Among the accused are 20 individuals, of whom 12 are related to the events in Koi-Tash. The names of former Minister of Internal Affairs Abdylly Suранчиев and ex-Minister of Energy Askarbek Shadieva are also mentioned in this case.
February 2023 marked the release of former President Almazbek Atambayev for medical treatment. He flew to Spain and has not returned to Kyrgyzstan since.
On August 7, 2019, the special forces of the GKNB attempted to storm Atambayev's residence in Koi-Tash. The next day, a special operation was conducted jointly with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to detain the ex-president. During clashes with his supporters, who threw stones and set tires on fire, 136 people were injured, and one special forces officer was killed by gunfire.
Several criminal cases have been initiated against Atambayev, including charges related to the riots in the village of Koi-Tash on August 7-8, 2019, corruption, and money laundering. He was also charged with the illegal issuance of passports to Turkish citizens and organizing mass riots in October 2020, but was acquitted.
