Supporters of Roza Otunbaeva, the co-chairwoman of the opposition movement Ata-Jurt who was recently denied registration to run in the 27 February parliamentary elections, continued to demonstrate in Bishkek on 10 January, RFE/RL\'s Kyrgyz Service reported. The protestors, who were joined by members of the People\'s Movement of Kyrgyzstan, numbered 150, and wore yellow to symbolize imminent change. A counterdemonstration of about 200 carried placards condemning Kyrgyzstan\'s parliament and sported the colors of a pro-presidential party. The two groups exchanged words but remained peaceful. Foreign Minister Askar Aitmatov warned on 10 January that the opposition should not try to put pressure on the authorities and should refrain from calls for civil disobedience. Otunbaeva has stated her intention to appeal the district election commission\'s decision to deny her registration. (RFE/RL)
