Kyrgyzstan to Seek Extradition of Ex-President

Kyrgyzstan’s new government issued a decree depriving former President Kurmanbek Bakiyev of presidential immunity and requesting the General Prosecutor's Office to take measures to have Bakiyev extradited and prosecuted. Bakiyev is accused of ordering to shoot at peaceful protesters during the recent revolution. After the revolution he resigned and fled to Belarus. Although no formal extradition request has been issued, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko stated Belarus would not extradite Bakiyev.
