Kyrgyz law enforcement agencies began dispersing protesters who rejected the results of this weekend’s parliamentary elections in central Bishkek on Monday, using tear gas, water cannons, rubber bullets and flash grenades, writes the MTI.
According to the on-site report by the Russian news agency TASZSZ, the participants of the protest action resisted the official action, throwing stones at the security guards.
The demonstration began Monday morning in the main square of Bishkek, where both the parliament and the presidential palace are located. Supporters from more than ten parties participated in the movement. These parties have not entered the legislature and are now demanding the annulment of Sunday’s vote, which they believe has been misled, and a replay of the election.
According to official results, the newly formed Socialist Party, called Unity (Birimdik), won almost 25 percent of the vote in Sunday’s vote, closely followed by my new liberal country, Kyrgyzstan. Two more games managed to jump the 7 percent entry threshold.
