Prosecution of alleged Kyrgyz terrorists begins
BISHKEK: Six alleged Islamic radicals went on trial in Kyrgyzstan on Wednesday for alleged involvement in an armed border incursion in May that left nine people dead.
“... all six, including a Kyrgyz woman, are members of the banned radical Islamic party Hizbut Tahrir and the Islamic Movement of Turkestan...”
The five Kyrgyz citizens and one of neighboring Uzbekistan are standing trial in the southern city of Osh on charges of murder, setting up a criminal group and inciting religious and ethnic hatred, said southern Batken regional prosecutor Ryskul Baktybayev. He said all six, including a Kyrgyz woman, are members of the banned radical Islamic party Hizbut Tahrir and the Islamic Movement of Turkestan. They were arrested during a probe into the May 12 attacks on Tajik and Kyrgyz border posts. Three Tajik border officers, five troops and one civilian were killed while nine Kyrgyz were wounded in the May clashes in the Batken region.
