One person died and at least 590 were injured in clashes between police and protesters in Kyrgyzstan, - reports Reuters, citing the country's government.

According to the same source, the government does not rule out to hold second elections.

Protests in Kyrgyzstan have been going on since Monday morning. Protestants are criticizing the election results, in which only four of the 16 parties, close to President Sooronbay Jeenbekov, crossed the 7% threshold. Protesters demand annulment of the results and re-appointment of elections.

Yesterday, police used water cannons and tear gas to disperse protesters. Despite the break-up, citizens re-assembled to protest. The demonstrators stormed the parliament and the presidential administration. Later on ex-president Almazbek Atambayev was released from the detention center of the State Committee for National Security.
