Hot News 2005 March 16 The U.S. Embassy underlined pressure exerted on independent media outlets
The U.S. Embassy to Kyrgyzstan released a report on second round election results in Kyrgyzstan. “Jugorku Kenesh elections haven’t met all the requirements for democratic elections set by the OSCE and international community,” the report says. In particular, it informs that some candidates were initially deprived of opportunities to stand for the elections fairly because of unequal media support. The press release focuses on independent media outlets, facing pressure from the authorities, and biased coverage of the elections by pro-governmental media outlets.
