Meanwhile Maksim Bakiyev, son of the former Kyrgyz president, has applied for political asylum in Great Britain, informs The Times of London.

Earlier it was announced that Bakiyev junior was detained in London’s Farnborough airport after arriving there on a private jet without valid documents.

As reported earlier, the prosecutor general of Kyrgyzstan is preparing documents requesting Maksim Bakiyev’s extradition to Bishkek, where he is accused of being involved in corruption schemes.

Pierre-Emmanuel Ducruet of the International Committee of the Red Cross told RT about the main needs and dangers for the refugees.

“According to our estimates, around 80,000 to 100,000 people crossed the border to Uzbekistan these last days,” Ducruet said. “The situation there is very frightening because people are in need of everything, food, water… Some people are willing to go back to Kyrgyzstan, while others are willing to stay back in Uzbekistan. The biggest risk now is the risk of dysentery and diarrhea, and that’s the reason why we are providing displaced people and refugees with drinkable water. If the situation remains the same or does not change drastically, then we’ll still be here for a long time.”
