THE TELEGRAPH: Kyrgyzstan's interim government has charged the country's ousted president Kurmanbek Bakiyev with "mass killing" and has formally prepared an extradition request.
Belarus took in Mr Bakiyev last week after he fled in the aftermath of a bloody revolt.
"The former president of Kyrgyzstan, Kurmanbek Bakiyev, has been charged with mass killing," Azimbek Beknazarov, an interim vice premier in charge of security, said in the capital Bishkek. The extradition request would be sent "within days", he added.
He might also be charged with abuse of power in an official capacity, Mr Beknazarov told reporters. >>> | Tuesday, April 27, 2010
