Kyrgyzstan's State Committee for National Security (UKMK) summoned and questioned journalist Kanyshai Mamyrkulova on November 13 in a probe of jailed opposition United Kyrgyzstan party member Zamirbek Shamshidin-uulu, who is accused of organizing mass unrest. Shamshidin-uulu was arrested on September 21, less than three weeks after United Kyrgyzstan party leader Adakhan Madumarov, a major opponent of President Sadyr Japarov, was arrested on a charge of "ignoring Kyrgyzstan's interests" by signing a Kyrgyz-Tajik border deal in 2009 when he led the country's Security Council. Madumarov has said the move was politically motivated. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Kyrgyz Service, click here.
