Критика насилия со стороны полиции в Кыргызстане Criticism of police violence in Kyrgyzstan
Security forces in Kyrgyzstan facilitated violence against ethnic Uzbeks around the towns of Jalal-Abad and Osh in June, accusing the human rights organization Human Rights Watch in a new report.
"Witnesses have told the gunmen followed the armored vehicles, shot and chased away the remaining inhabitants and then let the mob loot and burn down houses," wrote Human Rights Watch in its report published on Monday.
"Government forces helped lynch mob, whether intentionally or unintentionally... A further issue to be explored is whether they also actively participated in the attacks, and if so to what extent".
Human Rights Watch also accused the Kyrgyz authorities to have focused much more heavily against the Uzbeks during the investigations carried out after the riots, in which up to 2000 people are believed to have been killed.
Hundreds of thousands of ethnic Uzbeks were forced to escape the violence. The authorities have accused supporters of the ousted president in the spring Kurmanbek Bakiyev to have nurtured fears, in order to discredit the country's new leadership.
