«Therefore, in 2005-2009 28 crimes and infringement of laws were committed against mass media representatives; 23 criminal cases have been filed while the rest 5 cases were disregarded. 11 out of 23 filed criminal cases were stopped, 8 cases are in the courts, 4 cases are being investigated”, the IAM press-service concludes.

It has to be mentioned that the official notes does not say anything about the murder of journalist Gennadyi Pavlyuk. There is a possibility that the case will not be investigated in Kyrgyzstan since the murder took place in neighboring Kazakhstan.
