Today, March 26, the judge reviewed the case of 41-year-old Zheentaev, who had previously been sentenced by the Pervomaisky District Court to six years in prison.
According to the defense attorney, the judicial panel declared the district court's decision under Article 332 Part 1 invalid and acquitted Zheentaev. However, the sentence under Article 278 "Calls for Mass Riots" remained in effect, but instead of imprisonment, probation for four years was imposed, and he was released in the courtroom.
It should be noted that Ernist Zheentaev, who worked as a designer for various publications, was detained in November 2025. A criminal case was initiated against him under Article 278 Part 3 "Calls for Mass Riots" and Article 332 Part 1 "Manufacturing, Distribution, Transportation, or Mailing of Extremist Materials" of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
