  • 5 June 2020 Kyrgyzstan
    5 June 2020 Kyrgyzstan: Human rights defender Kamil Ruziev sentenced to house arrest On 29 May 2020, human rights defender Kamil Ruziev was detained outside a courthouse in Karakol, Kyrgyzstan. He was then interrogated and spent two days in detention, before being placed under two months’ house arrest on 31 May, on charges of forgery. Kamil Ruziev is a human rights defender and lawyer, and acting head of the Karakol-based organisation Ventus. He has been working for more than 20 years on combatting torture, violence and arbitrary law enforcement, defending the rights of victims of torture and victims of domestic violence. On 29 May, Ruziev was detained by officers of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) of the Issyk-Kul district while leaving the Karakol city court. The officers allegedly detained him as a witness. Following his detention, he was interrogated and denied access to his lawyer. Kamil Ruziev received a detention order which listed him as a suspect, rather than a witness. On 31 May, after spending two days in the Karakol detention centre, Kamil Ruziev was informed that he was being accused of forgery of documents (Art. 359, part 2 of the Criminal Code) by the GKNB. On the same day, he was notified of a criminal case that had been opened against him on 11 March 2020, for the same charge, of which he had never been informed. Also on 31 May, the GKNB sent a press release to Kyrgyz media which stated that Kamil Ruziev is suspected of fraud (article 204 of the Criminal Code) and forgery of documents.

  • Sdjr06020 Summary
    Integrated Development Plan of the Issyk-Kul Zone Summary 8 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT Environmental Capacity and Pollutant Loads For the integrated regional development plan of the Issyk-Kul zone, the strategic environmental assessment (SEA) has been applied to evaluate overall pollutant loads to be caused by changes in land use and development projects envisaged under the moderate growth scenario. As discussed previously, the most sensitive is the pollution of water quality in the Issyk-Kul Lake. Under the moderate growth scenario, the lake water quality will be degraded to some extent as predicted in the table below. The extent of pollutant loads in terms of BOD, total nitrogen (NH4-N, NO2-N and NO3-N) and total phosphorus (PO4-P) appears to be permissible in the light of international standards for lake water quality. Table S.10 Predicted Water Quality under Moderate Growth Scenario (mg/l) Current Moderate Growth Scenario Permissible (2002) 2010 2025 Level BOD 0.61 0.66 0.75 1 T-N 0.15 0.16 0.18 0.2 T-P 0.0011 0.0012 0.0014 0.005 Source: JICA Study Team Quality of river water flowing into the Issyk-Kul Lake should also be assessed and monitored.
