Kazakhstan arrests Kyrgyz MP over contraband
Authorities in ex-Soviet Kazakhstan have arrested a lawmaker from neighbouring Kyrgyzstan over contraband, both governments have said in a development which threatens to undermine their diplomatic rapprochement.
In Bishkek, the Kyrgyz foreign ministry said late Saturday it had "received notice" from Kazakhstan of the arrest of Damirbek Asylbek uulu, an MP with the ruling coalition, along with three other Kyrgyz citizens.
