The UN Human Rights Council reviews #Kyrgyzstan’s record today. Once Central Asia's democratic beacon, today's Kyrgyzstan is a country where journalists are jailed for doing their jobs. Behind the crackdown? A vague “incitement” law, which the UN found “has been wielded as a tool of political repression.” Its targets include: • Ozhobai Shakir, who posted a video critical of Kyrgyz authorities • Zarina Torokulova, who encouraged a social media user to share two videos online • 11 journalists affiliated with Temirov LIVE and Ait Ait Deese for their outlets' videos denouncing corruption Share to tell Kyrgyzstan it’s time to honor its commitments.
