Additional information:

Marata Uraliev was summoned for interrogation to the police of the Kara-Suu district of the Osh region. The reason was not explained. However, the editorial board believes that this was due to his professional activities. In July, the journalist filmed a report that in the 'Bayastan' restaurant located in the Kara-Suu region, despite the ban on holding events during the COVID-19 pandemic, a wedding was organised. In his article, the journalist showed that the event's guests were deputies, employees of the State Committee for National Security and other high-ranking officials. Earlier in June, a case was initiated against the restaurant's administration under the article "Violation of sanitary and epidemiological rules."
