Akyn Askat Zhetigen announced on his Facebook page that a new criminal case has been initiated against him. The case involves public calls for violent seizure of power.
Two expert examinations were appointed for his live broadcasts on social media. One conclusion has been reached, leading to him being released on a non-departure recognizance. However, a second video with inappropriate language has resulted in him being charged, brought to court, and facing detention measures. Previously, Askat Zhetigen was detained by the State Committee for National Security for criticizing the authorities.
After being transferred from Naryn to Bishkek, he was held in custody for 48 hours before being released on a non-departure recognizance by the decision of the Pervomaisky District Court.
