United StatesA Kyrgyz court has sentenced former security chief Kamchybek Tashiev to four years in prison for attempting to violently seize power from President Sadyr Japarov. The conviction follows an open letter, known as the 'Letter of 75,' which called for early presidential elections. While Tashiev did not sign the letter, President Japarov claimed it was part of a coordinated coup attempt and removed Tashiev from his positions. The court later commuted the sentence to a three-year probation period. Tashiev's legal team plans to appeal the ruling, and similar sentences were imposed on two other high-profile figures. This marks a significant break in the once-powerful political partnership between Tashiev and Japarov.
