The Central Asian Republic of Kyrgyzstan had an election this week which was widely seen as fraudulent in much the same way as Iran's election.
There was a rally planned today in the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek, in support of the people of Iran as part of the world wide day of protests.
Sadly it appears as if the government of Kyrgyzstan does not like all this talk about opposing stolen elections and has arrested 8 human rights activists.
If the reports are true, these are despicable actions by the government of Kyrgyzstan. Those in power must respect the human rights of their own citizens and support protests against the violations of human rights in Iran.
I guess the governments of Iran and Kyrgyzstan are "thick as thieves".
