He has been charged under part 2 of Article 261 of the Criminal Code of Kyrgyzstan for "Creating or participating in an organized group."
The criminal case was initiated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs after a registration refusal, which led to Taychabarov's detention. This occurred after he released a video criticizing the decision of the Central Election Commission and mentioning the country's president. In response, the head of the president's information policy service, Dairbek Orunbekov, stated that the state would take measures against anyone involved in illegal activities, regardless of their political connections.
It is also worth noting that Kudret Taychabarov is the brother of Azamat Maripov, who is also under arrest, and the former advisor to President Sadyr Japarov, Adinai Maripova.
