The State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan reported the detention of a group of individuals who are allegedly planning a violent takeover of power.
According to the agency 24.kg, citing its sources, “the SCNS has mass detained participants of a possible coup d’état.”
No further details have been provided so far.
“According to their information, the group was preparing to seize power by force. It is not yet known who exactly was detained by the security services,” the statement notes.
The opinions of those detained are currently unavailable.
Kyrgyz media published a video of the detention of participants in the possible coup d’état. The footage shows that security service officers arrived in a minibus and burst into a house.
Social media users are questioning how many there were and how the coup participants could be in one private house, as typically the number of coup participants is very large, and they have their own people in the security agencies. However, there are currently no reports of the detention of Kyrgyz officials.
Experts believe that leaders of Central Asian countries usually use these methods to eliminate political parties or organizations in their countries, detaining opposition members and imprisoning them on charges of organizing a coup d’état.
