Dead man' leaves hospital, relatives say


 

 

Akayev ordered the commission and court "to pay particular attention to those districts where election results provoked extreme public reaction ... and tell people openly who is right and who is wrong," his office said.In Osh, Kyrgyzstan's second-largest city, about 1,000 protesters -- armed with clubs and flammable liquid and chanting "Akayev go!" -- took control of the governor's building. Activists first stormed the building Friday, were ousted by security forces Saturday but retook it Monday.The opposition also was occupying government buildings in four other cities and towns, Interior Ministry spokesman Nurdin Jangarayev said. Hundreds rallied Monday in at least two other towns in this mountainous nation of 5 million people, he said.Couey made his first court appearance in Citrus County on Sunday, telling a magistrate judge that he understood his rights and the charges he faces.He also had words for the suspect: "I hope you rot in hell, and I hope you get the death penalty, and I hope you can find it somewhere in you to be a man and stand up and take your punishment." Investigators awaited results of a test on evidence from the home where Couey was staying, and officials have informed the girl's family about the details surrounding Jessica's death.Protesters in the southern town of Toktogul held captive for a third day a district governor and a chief district prosecutor, both of whom are accused of colluding with Akayev's government, police said."Neither authorities nor opposition leaders can control the crowd right now," he said. "If an (opposition) leader emerges who can control the protesters, the government will be ready to talk to him."Kyrgyzstan's opposition parties have long been fractured and have resisted moves to unite them. With pressure on Akayev to step down, rival opposition leaders are positioning themselves to be seen as a possible successor.Monday's biggest demonstration drew about 15,000 people to the southern city of Jalal-Abad, a local government spokesman said. There were no reports of violence a day after demonstrators burned down much of the police headquarters, freed 70 detained protesters and occupied the governor's office.Couey made his first court appearance in Citrus County on Sunday, telling a magistrate judge that he understood his rights and the charges he faces."I believe some of it," Dawsy said. "I don't believe everything he has told us. I think he was in a drug-induced haze for a portion of the time.The statement came as more than 17,000 people seized government buildings in the latest protests demanding Akayev's resgnation.Akayev has led this mainly Muslim nation for 15 years.He also had words for the suspect: "I hope you rot in hell, and I hope you get the death penalty, and I hope you can find it somewhere in you to be a man and stand up and take your punishment."
