Nurlan Asanbekov

Nurlan Asanbekov is a builder who was detained on October 23, 2022, during a period of intensified protests in Kyrgyzstan regarding the Kempir-Abad reservoir land transfer. He was working on renovations for opposition politician Ravshan Jeenbekov at the time of his arrest. He faced charges of organizing mass riots and attempting to seize power. During his detention, Asanbekov conducted a hunger strike to protest his treatment and the impact of his arrest on his family, including his ill child and elderly mother. This resulted in significant weight loss and health deterioration. Although placed under house arrest in November 2022, his health continued to decline due to the protracted trial and lack of medical care, leading to a suicide attempt via self-immolation.
