At the meeting of the Lenin District Court in Bishkek, the lawyers of journalist Mahabat Tajibek kyzy submitted a petition for the termination of the criminal case and the immediate release of their client. However, the court did not make a final decision and left the petition open.

We remind you that earlier the Supreme Court of the Kyrgyz Republic annulled the previous sentences and sent the case for a new hearing in the Lenin District Court.

During the new court proceedings, the defense insists on the complete cessation of criminal prosecution, citing the conclusions of international human rights organizations. In particular, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention recognized the arrest of Tajibek kyzy as illegal and advocated for her release.

The journalist and head of the Temirov LIVE project was detained in January 2024 and later sentenced to six years in prison on charges of organizing mass riots.

The case is currently under review following the annulment of the sentence by the Supreme Court; however, the issue of the preventive measure and possible release remains unresolved.
