Kyrgyzstan’s president-elect should make rights a priority — HRW
- Written by TCA
BISHKEK (TCA) — Kyrgyzstan’s President-elect Sooronbai Jeenbekov should demonstrate from the outset that he intends to put human rights front and center when he takes office in December, Human Rights Watch said on October 19. Jeenbekov’s government should reverse the human rights backsliding that accelerated in the months leading up to the presidential election, reaffirm the importance of an independent media, and respect the important role of independent groups and activists, the rights watchdog said.
