People gather for a rally demanding the closure of Cactus Media, Kloop, Azattyk in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, 09 February 2022. Those present demanded that Kaktus-media, Kloop and Azattyk be declared foreign agents. They called these editorial offices destabilizing the life of the Kyrgyz people and called for the shut down of the publications because journalists gave information - a reprint from the Tajik site Asia Plus – about the conflict on the Kyrgyz-Tajik border. The Prosecutor General's Office disseminated information that a criminal case had been opened on the fact of the publication of an armed conflict in the border zone. (Photo by Igor Kovalenko/EPA/EFE)
