Chairman of the Osh City Military Court Bakyt Arabaev announced on 16 October that the trial against six local officials, connected with the Aksy tragedy, would begin in the town of Mailuu-Suu on 17 October. The trial was scheduled for 30 September initially, then was postponed till 15 October but was not held because only one out of six defendants appeared in the court.
