  • Demonstrations<br /><p>On 7th April 2010, followuing a series of demonstrations against the corruption of President Bakiyev and his family, the protest turned violent and culminated in the protestors occupying and burning government house. <br /><br />The President fled to the south and eventually Belarus. His son, Maxim, hated by the Kyrgyz people, has sought asylum in London. <br /><br />Here Bishek residents sit on the fence on the morning of the 8th, waiting to see what good will come of the revolution.<br /><br />Photography by Tim Jeanneret, not to be used without permission.</p>
  • Eagle<br /><p>Hunting with golden eagles is a proud Kyrgyz activity, with the owner kidnapping the young chick from its nest before raising it like a parent. The relationship can last for over 10 years before the bird is retired. This eagle has a medal for taking on a wolf - wolves are common in Kyrgyzstan and kill many horses each year. <br /><br />Photography by Tim Jeanneret, not to be used without permission.</p>

  • Killings<br /><p>Over 80 people were killed when police and special forces protecting government buildings, including snipers on the rooves, eventually opened fire into the crowd. <br /><br />Some of the protestors had taken weapons from the police earlier in the day, and were also shooting. The violence took everyone by surprise, but there was a feeling there was no going back once the shooting had started and the President couldn't be allowed to maintain power by killing people. <br /><br />Photography by Tim Jeanneret, not to be used without permission.</p>
