Kyrgyzstan: 'A longtime human rights defender and political activist in Kyrgyzstan has gone missing, Human Rights Watch said. Tursunbek Akunov was last seen by his wife around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 16. His wife, Gulia Japarovna, told Human Rights Watch that when he left the house he told her that he had been called to a meeting by an officer from the National Security Services (NSS, formerly the KGB), whom he was going to meet in central Bishkek. Akunov did not return home that evening and has been missing now for three days.' (Human Rights Watch)
