Protesters attempted to hold unsanctioned rally at Ala-Too square in Bishkek - police department

AKIPRESS.COM - Some 15 people tried to hold unsanctioned rally at Ala-Too square today in Bishkek, the city police department reported.
At around noon civil activists and members of the Greens Party of Kyrgyzstan gathered at the central square for the action urging people in Kyrgyzstan to vote against all parties in the parliamentary elections set for October 4.
The police officers explained to protesters the court earlier prohibited holding rallies and other actions due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"Police also asked to respect sanitary protocols. Protesters thanked the police officers for explanations and then left the square," the city police department said.
The protesters headed to Gorky Park, where they plan to hold their action every day.
