Clashes at Kyrgyz protests
Fighting has broken out during the fourth day of anti-government protests in Kyrgyzstan's capital, Bishkek.
About 5,000 activists were returning from a march to the headquarters of state radio and television on Saturday afternoon when between 20 and 30 men arrived in police cars and attacked the crowd, an AFP correspondent said.
Several people were injured in the brawl, during which bottles and stones were reportedly thrown. Three of the attackers were caught by the crowd and beaten, two reportedly lost consciousness.
The march had been staged to protest against pro-government coverage by the state media.
The ex-Soviet republic in Central Asia has been plagued by political tension since President Askar Akayev was forced out of office in March 2005.
The latest protests began on Wednesday, when about 6,000 opposition supporters gathered in the capital's main square, setting up tents and yurts - traditional nomadic dwellings made of wood and fabric.
They have vowed to remain there until Kurmanbek Bakiyev, the current president, resigns.
