A video has appeared on Kyrgyzstan's WhatsApp, capturing a fight between citizens and police officers in one of the houses on Samoylenko Street in Bishkek. The video's author claims that the authorities plan to evict people onto the streets in winter.

However, as reported on February 21 by the press service of the Interior Ministry of the Lenin District, the eviction did indeed take place, but it occurred on October 14, 2025.

The police department noted that from the clothing of the people in the recording and the uniforms of the police officers, it is evident that the events did not happen in winter.

During the incident, law enforcement agencies were ensuring public order while court bailiffs executed a court decision.

As of today, the building has already been completely demolished.

Additionally, based on a collective appeal from citizens, a criminal case has been initiated under Article 213, Part 2, Clause 2 ("Unauthorized occupation or seizure of premises, buildings, or structures") of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic. An investigation is currently underway.
