On March 11, the Pervomaisky District Court decided to place journalist Altynai Arstanbekova in custody. This information was confirmed by the court's press service on March 12, stating that she is being held in pre-trial detention center No. 1 until May 9.

Arstanbekova is suspected under part 3 of Article 278 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic for "calls for mass riots."

The investigation claims that she used a fake account "Daniil Zhooshbaev" to post materials that criticized government agencies and structures. The Ministry of Internal Affairs noted that these publications were aimed at "discrediting the authorities and exacerbating the socio-political situation."
