Additional information:

Blogger Bakmurat Toktogulov was summoned to the State Committee for National Security for questioning. As he told users to live on Facebook, the reason for the interrogation «could be his publications criticizing the authorities». «I was warned that the posts must not contain incitement of ethnic hatred. However, they did not find such a violation in my publications. ...I only shared my worries about the state», — said the blogger. In his posts, Toktogulov discusses geopolitical and international problems and their impact on Kyrgyzstan.
