BISHKEK. According to deputy Ismail Isakov, the governor of Osh oblast refused to allow a People's Congress in the Osh City. Isakov, who is also one of the leaders of the Movement for Removal of President Akayev and Reforms for People, said that the movement filed a permission request 10 days ago, as required by law.
