Kyrgyzstan sends nationalist MPs to jail for coup attempt.
A court in Kyrgyzstan has sentenced three nationalist opposition MPs to
up to 18 months behind bars for an attempt to seize power in the Central Asian
republic. Prosecutors demanded a sentence of up to ten years for nationalist
leader Kamchibek Tashiyev, Sadyr Zhaparov and Talant Mamytov. The three
lawmakers of the Ata Zhurt party were arrested back in October, following a
protest demanding the nationalization of the huge Kumtor gold mine in the
former Soviet Republic. The rally resulted in clashes with police as protesters
attempted to storm the parliament building in the capital of Bishkek. Several
people were injured. On Friday, several
hundred supporters of Tashiyev’s supporters were rallying near the court building
demanding that the three MPs are released.Media agencies
