lpv:translated text	"Kyrgyzstan is not yet a democracy. There is no division of powers, and no independent judiciary power. Human rights, freedom of the press, freedom of expression, etc. are continuously violated. There is an enormous abuse of power by the government, and people are thrown into prison at random under false accusations to eliminate political opponents. There is repression against independent journalists, and the press is the government’s monopoly. What can we then expect as democrats? Despite this, there are people who, with great courage, try to uphold democracy in their country, despite major personal risks, as Mr Beknazarov found out. Democratically elected people, journalists and citizens who uphold the rule of law are oppressed and even subjected to torture. But they should know that the European Union is on their side on this. We must apply pressure on the government. We have, in the framework of the partnership and the cooperation agreement, the chance to pressurise the government into engaging in dialogue with the opposition, ending the torture and ensuring that the country is on track to becoming one in which the rule of law applies."@en1
