Protesters kicked out of Kyrgyz Supreme Court

[dArKeR]

Hundreds of people, some throwing stones, broke into the Kyrgyz Supreme Court yesterday and evicted activists who had occupied the building for more than a month in a protest on behalf of five losing parliamentary candidates.

Witnesses said the crowd moved to evict the activists because they had blocked court proceedings since their protest began April 22.

But a police official at the scene, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of compromising his position, said the group that stormed the building backed candidates whose seats were being challenged by the activists inside.
