Jeenbekov has faced calls to resign by protesters who stormed government buildings after Sunday’s parliamentary vote was reportedly swept by pro-government parties. Protesters freed former President Almazbek Atambayev, who was jailed on charges seen by his supporters as a political vendetta. (Photo by Vladimir Voronin/AP Photo)
