Dinara Oshurakhunova: Even Akayev and Bakiyev did not set sights on human rights section of Constitution

“Even Akayev and Bakiyev did not set sights on a section of the Constitution on human rights,” the coordinator of the Civil Control Committee Dinara Oshurakhunova said, speaking at a round table “Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic: inadmissibility or need for amendments.”

The human rights activist noted that “the achievement of Constitution 2010 was the inviolability of individual rights, and rejecting this postulate, we are marginalizing our country.”

“The redistribution of powers between branches of government is a key objective of the proposed amendments, camouflaged into distracting and attracting wrappers of other changes.” “We do not doubt that the initiators will easily give up some of the amendments, misrepresenting them as concessions for the civil society and the political opponents and will attract the people by the other wrappers and offer to vote for the whole package,” she said.

Dinara Oshurakhunova noted that “the norms that allow interpreting the legal possibility of amending the Constitution before 2020 do not cancel the political and historical illegitimacy of such a step.”
