of
journalists about conducting force actions against the meeting participants
as
following:
- Yet, they are not doing anything illegal.
But capturing the buildings and
blocking the highways are considered as crime and we should react to
this.
- Why your colleagues in the south of
the country did not take any measures
against the meeting participants who captured the building and committed
crime,
according to your definition?
- Ask my colleagues in the south about
this, answered Keneshbek Duishebaev.
According to the organizers of the picket,
action protest will be continued
until Akayev resigns.
