31- 21.05.2010, 11:52
Materials of the case at 18 pages are "studied" at the moment.
As BelaPAN has been informed by The Belarusian Prosecutor General’s Office, it has recieved by post an extradition request for ousted Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev and materials against him.
As said by the interlocutor of the agency, the materials at 18 pages are studied at the moment. We remind that a copy of the extradition request was recieved from Kyrgyzstan on May 11.
We remind that Kurmanbek Bakiyev stays in Belarus since April 19. The decision to offer him political asylum was adopted by Alyaksandr Lukashenka personally. It caused protest of the new government of Kyrgyzstan and the families of the killed protesters, at whom Bakiyev ordered to open fire. Pickets are held near the Embassy of Belarus in Bishkek constantly. The new government of Kyrgyzstan demands to extradite Bakiyev to his country, however the Belarusian authorities refuse to do that.
It is known that Bakiyev with one of his inofficial wives and children lives in Lukashenka's residence in Drazdy or in Berezensky natural reserve.
