Kyrgyz Supreme Court Upholds Sentence of Activist Zarina Torokulova

@media.kg

Considering the appeal of convicted activist Zarina Torokulova, the Supreme Court of Kyrgyzstan upheld the sentence passed down on her by lower courts, lawyer Akmat Alagushev has reported. According to Alagushev, the charges against the defendant were not proven at the investigation or in court; despite this, the court found her guilty.

On January 16, the Pervomaisky District Court of Bishkek found the activist guilty of violating Part 3 of Article 278 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, which addresses “Calls for active disobedience to the lawful demands of authorities, mass disorder, and incitement to violence against citizens.”

Earlier, the prosecution noted that the activist shared two messages from the Facebook account “Umai Aruu.” One was “Japarov Mafia,” and the other was “Organizing an online rally,” a repost of a video by journalist, Olzhobai Shakir, who opposed the transfer of four boarding houses on Issyk-Kul to Uzbekistan, and urged citizens to come out for a rally. He was detained on August 23, 2023, by officers of the State Committee for National Security, accused of calling for active disobedience to law enforcement officials, mass disorder, and attempted seizure of power.

Torokulova was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment with three years’ probationary supervision.
