Request to Extradite Kyrgyz Officials
According to the latest news, a number of officials under Bakiyev’s government have escaped to Kazakhstan, but now the opposition government wants to extradite them and put them on trial.
The interim government also asked Kazakhstan – where Bakiyev is believed to be hiding – to extradite his son Murat Bakiyev, former prime minister Daniyar Usenov and security services chief Murat Sutalinov, who all took refuge there amid the protests.
Does anyone closer to the situation have more information on this. Last I heard Kurmanbek Bakiyev had moved on somewhere–but if he was planning to go to Europe, I suppose the volcano might have delayed him. That would be a new angle on this volcano/flight delay story.
