Kyrgyz police disperse protest over ex-lawmaker's detention

BISHKEK, Mar 25 (Reuters) Kyrgyz police used stun grenades today to disperse hundreds of people attending a protest rally against the detention of a former parliamentary deputy and detained dozens of demonstrators.
The confrontation underscored growing political tensions in the former Soviet republic as it prepares for a presidential election in November. Its two previous presidents were toppled by violent riots.
Authorities detained Sadyr Zhaparov, who Kyrgyz media say plans to run for the presidency, when he returned to the country earlier on Saturday after spending three years abroad in self-imposed exile. He faces charges of taking hostage a government official in 2013.
