Democracy protesters storm police station
About 10,000 pro-democracy protesters stormed a police station and forced workers to flee a governor’s office in Kyrgyzstan today, a government spokesman said, in the biggest demonstration since allegedly fraudulent elections last month.
Police fled to the roof of their station, firing shots into the air to deter the stone-throwing protesters in the southern city of Jalal-Abad, regional government spokesman Orazaly Karasartov said.
