A Bishkek court has ordered the unsealing of materials in the case of an alleged coup attempt, with former National Security Committee chairman Kamchybek Tashiev as the main defendant. The decision was made in a closed session on June 11, and open hearings will begin on June 15.
The Unsealing Order
The Pervomaisky District Court of Bishkek ruled on June 11 to declassify the case file on an alleged coup attempt, known as the "case of 75." The decision was made during a closed session, and subsequent hearings from June 15 will be open to the public. The case was submitted by the Investigative Service of the Kyrgyz Interior Ministry.
Key Defendant
The main defendant is Kamchybek Tashiev, former chairman of the State Committee for National Security (SCNS) of Kyrgyzstan. Tashiev is accused of plotting to overthrow President Sadyr Japarov. The case involves 75 individuals, though details remain sealed until the unsealing takes effect.
Eight Additional Defendants
The transcript reveals that eight other individuals are implicated in the case alongside Kamchybek Tashiev. This detail was not present in the original article, which only mentioned 75 individuals without specifying the number of defendants beyond Tashiev.
What's Next
Open hearings are scheduled to begin on June 15. It remains unclear how much of the case material will be made public and whether Tashiev's defense will challenge the unsealing.
