Embassy of Kyrgyzstan in Washington D.C. asks citizens to avoid crowded places

AKIPRESS.COM - The Embassy of Kyrgyzstan in Washington D.C. has asked expats staying in the United States to stay vigilant and to avoid crowded places in connection with mass protests.
The Embassy has asked to immediately report about possible detention or injuries of citizens of Kyrgyzstan.
Shortly after President Trump addressed his supporters vowing "never to concede" the election in a speech on the Ellipse, large crowds of Trump supporters marched to the U.S. Capitol and breached police barricades, making their way into the building and inside Senate chambers.
DC Police confirmed that a woman shot inside the Capitol during the riots has died.
The Capitol was placed on lockdown, police ordered evacuations of several buildings, and the certification of Electoral College votes was delayed. Members of Congress were escorted out of the room.
Outside, the president's supporters could be heard chanting "this is our house" as they continued to clash with police in riot gear. Video footage shows pepper spray being deployed in multiple instances.
