Supporters of Kyrgyzstan's deposed president rally
None
Several thousand supporters of Kyrgyzstan's deposed president are rallying, in a test of his ability to resist opposition forces that drove him out of the capital last week. Supporters of Kurmanbek Bakiyev are speaking at the square in Jalal-Abad and some of his brothers are mingling in the crowd. Bakiyev himself is expected to appear soon.
Tuesday's rally follows a smaller gathering of about 500 people in his home village the day before. The self-declared interim government in the capital has threatened to arrest Bakiyev, who has warned that there will be bloodshed if they try. (AP)
