Among other demands, the protesters are calling for a probe into a recent overnight attack on Piramida, Kyrgyzstan's oldest independent television channel.
On September 28, four hooded attackers vandalized Piramida's headquarters on the outskirts of Bishkek, starting a fire that caused an estimated $200,000 in damages and forced the television channel to go off the air.
Prime Minister Feliks Kulov today promised the demonstrators to help Piramida resume operations as soon as possible.
Participants to today's picket also held a one-minute silence in memory of slain Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya.
