AUTHORITIES in Kyrgyzstan have arrested a nephew of deposed President Kurmanbek Bakiyev and charged him with helping organize the ethnic rioting that tore apart the Central Asian nation's south.
Hundreds of people were killed and as many as 400,000 driven from their homes this month when Kyrgyz mobs rampaged through Uzbek neighborhoods in and around the cities of Osh and Jalal-Abad.
Sandjar Bakiyev, 27, was detained in the mountains of the Jalal-Abad region despite "serious resistance" from him and his supporters, Interior Minister Bolot Sher said. Prosecutors have "convincing and undeniable evidence" that Bakiyev was a key organizer of the unrest that started on June 10.
Kyrgyz officials had previously claimed that the younger Bakiyev actively participated in the violence. Interim President Roza Otunbayeva said Bakiyev rode around Osh on armored personnel carriers, and other officials accused him of handing out weapons.
Kurmanbek Bakiyev was toppled in April after violent protests in Bishkek, the capital.
