Salyanova's supporters gather as court to annouce pre-trial restriction form

AKIPRESS.COM - Supporters of ex-Prosecutor General Aida Salyanova gathered in the Pervomay district court of Bishkek on June 4.
The court is to decide on the pre-trial restriction of the detainee.
Salyanova was detained on June 3 for 48 hours as part of the criminal probe into illegal freeing of crime boss Aziz Batukayev from prison over fake leukemia diagnosis.
Batukayev was sentenced to 16.8 years in prison on August 3, 2006. He was prematurely released from prison in 2013 because of the leukemia diagnosis, which turned out to be fake. Soon after he fled the country, he was declared internationally wanted.
