Criminal proceedings against Kaktus.media have been terminated. The Prosecutor General’s Office informed 24-kg.com news agency.
The case was closed on March 31 due to the absence of crime in the act.
A rally was held near the office of Kaktus.media on January 28. The protesters demanded to shut down the media outlet, because the journalists published information — a reprint from the Tajik Asia Plus website — about the conflict on the Kyrgyz-Tajik border. Later, the Prosecutor General’s Office sent out information that a criminal case had been opened on the material about the armed conflict in the border zone. Media workers were summoned for interrogations to the prosecutor’s office of Bishkek.
