“Five Kyrgyz citizens were sentenced to death in China,” Ombudsman Tursunbek Akun announced at a press conference in Bishkek. According to his information, 5 of the 13 Kyrgyz citizens currently detained in China have been sentenced to be shot. “Unfortunately, it is very difficult to release them from detention, as they are proven to have committed the crime. Our Embassy and Consulate in China are working at alleviating the punishment,” Akun said.
