Kadirzhanov, Makhamadillo
Gayratbek Saliyev (24), Bakhtiyor Mamashev (28) and Makhamadillo Kadyrzhanov (42) fled to Russia in July 2010, after four days of ethnic clashes between ethnic Kyrgyz and ethnic Uzbeks in southern Kyrgyzstan (Amnesty International, 2013)
Who, Why and How exiled: Kadirzhanov Makhamadillo lived in the Jalal Abad region of Kyrgyzstan. After the mass disorders and inter-ethnic clashes in June 2010, he fled to to Russia for fear of the ethnically motivated violence or any future persecution (ECHR, 2014).
Stage 1 details (accusations/ charges/ Interpol notice/ extradition requests): On the 3rd October 2011, the Kyrgyz authorities charged Kadirzhanov in absentia with violence crimes committed in the course of the violence of June 2010. (ECHR, 2014). His name was added to the international wanted list. (ECHR, 2014).
Stage 2 details (arrest/ detention/ extradition): On the 14th May 2012 Kardizhanov was was arrested in Orel, Russia. It appears that this was the first time he learnt about the charges against him in Kyrgyzstan. A formal extradition request was lodged on 12th June 2012. (ECHR, 2014; Amnesty International, 2013).
Legal status (refugee/ asylum seeker/ resident): He applied for refugee status after his arrest. His application was however rejected due to a lack of evidence for the mistreatment he would face in Kyrgyzstan (ECHR, 2014).
Current status: Kardizhanov was released from custody shortly after the Orel regional deputy prosecutor reasoned that the examination of the case would take longer than the maximum period of detention (25th September 2013) ( ECHR, 2014).
