BISHKEK (Reuters) -A court in Kyrgyzstan sentenced two former video editors of the independent outlet Kloop, Zhoomart Duulatov and Alexander Alexandrov, to five years in prison on Wednesday on charges of spreading false information and undermining public order.
The journalists' lawyer said the charges were fabricated, and that they had been unfairly convicted. Two more defendants, accountants at Kloop, were given suspended sentences.
