Kyrgyz Supreme Court Dismissed Kloop’s Appeal of ‘Extremist’ Declaration

Kyrgyzstan's Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal by Kloop, an independent media outlet, against its designation as an extremist organization, a label applied in October 2025. The ruling effectively upholds the suppression of one of the country's prominent independent journalistic voices. The case is seen as part of a broader crackdown on press freedom in Central Asia.
