People are gathering in the Ala-Too square in Bishkek for a peaceful rally to protest against corruption in the country, Eurasia Diary reports citing AKIpress.
Anti-corruption rally came after the journalist investigation by Azattyk, ОССRP and Kloop agencies claiming that $700 million were withdrawn from Kyrgyzstan by businessman Aierken Saimaiti, who reportedly handed over documents to the journalists proving the corruption scheme involving some Kyrgyz officials before his murder. Saimaiti was shot dead at the hotel cafe in Istanbul on November 10 evening.
The rally participants demand from authorities a reaction to the this investigation.
The organizers said about 1000 people attended the rally.
