On January 9, 2005 on behalf of internet web site www.gazeta.kg and other web sites and electronic mail addresses, publications called "Peoples' Movement of Kyrgyzstan - against. Unambiguously" and "Weighty word of deputy" and others were distributed. Publications criticized and offended the activity of oppositionist politicians of Kyrgyzstan. Materials, which discredited oppositionists, were distributed in English and Russian languages through KCHR e-mail address chrights@imfiko.bishkek.su. At present moment KCHR doesn't use this e-mail address. They found out this address through Special Forces and ex-members of KCHR on whose name KCHR is registered. Ex-members of KCHR received the registration of KCHR because they cooperated with National Security Service (KGB). The author of the web site www.gazeta.kg conducted an investigation and found out the following.

According to the editor of the web site Ulan Melisbek, it is a first time when someone tried to discredit an independent publication. "During a long period, while these publications were distributed we conducted a thorough investigation of each of it, we wrote letters to administrations of used proxy-servers. Owing to comparative analyses of IP addresses of sent articles and addresses of well-known organizations in Kyrgyzstan, we found out the source of this black pr", - he said.

As a result of investigation conducted by editorial of the web site, it was found out that electronic publications on behalf of www.gazeta.kg as well as on behalf of Informational Agency "CenterAsia" are coming from the private informational agency "KyrgyzInfo", which was found under media holding, which belongs to Adil Toigonbaev (President AKAEV's son in law). The following mass media belong to the holding: newspaper "Vecherniy Bishkek", telecompany "KOORT", radio "Love Radio", and advertising agency "Airek".
According to U. Melisbek, from confidential sources he found out that the author of these publications is director of Informational Agency "KyrgyzInfo" Turat Akimov, who before worked in state informational agency "Kabar".

KCHR is sure that National Security Service of Kyrgyz Republic participates in this campaign on distributing publications.
