The ban on holding peaceful gatherings in the center of Bishkek has been extended until June 30. The decision was made by the Pervomaisky District Court following a request from the Pervomaisky district administration to recognize its resolution of March 28 "On restricting the venue of peaceful assemblies" as lawful.
It is prohibited to hold rallies at Ala-Too Square and the adjacent Erkindik Boulevard from Lineynaya Street to Chui Avenue, as well as near the buildings of the Jogorku Kenesh and the adjacent Panfilov Park, the presidential administration, on the territory of the Tattybubu Tursunbaeva Square, the Supreme Court, the Russian Embassy, the State Committee for National Security, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The only exception is for state and municipal official events held at Ala-Too Square. Protest actions can still be held only at the Maxim Gorky Square, at the intersection of Ryskulov and Isanov Streets. The ban on holding rallies in central Bishkek has been in effect since March 2022.
