The Storming of Atambayev's Residence
On August 7, in Kyrgyzstan, security forces tried to lawfully detain former president Almazbek Atambayev, who had three times failed to appear for questioning. They stormed his residence in the village of Koy-Tash.
The politician's supporters resisted, leading to a conflict. One security officer died in the clashes, and another 45 injured people were taken to hospitals.
Captured security officers are still in Atambayev's house in the village of Koy-Tash. There are 300-400 people on the grounds of the residence, ready to set off for a rally in Bishkek. Meanwhile, internet and mobile communications have been cut off in Koy-Tash.
