Hundreds of people rallied in front of Kyrgyzstan’s interior ministry on Thursday, decrying alleged police inaction over the murder of a woman abducted for marriage. Aizada Kanatbekova, 27, was kidnapped on April 5. Two days later, she was found strangled in a car in a rural area, together with her suspected murderer who had died from knife wounds, apparently self-inflicted.More Related News
