Biography

He was also head of the University of People's Friendship[1] and a parliamentary deputy. Last years he resided in Sweden.[2] He fled from Kyrgyzstan to Ukraine in 2010.[2] Batyrov received a life sentence in absentia for his alleged role in ethnic conflicts in southern Kyrgyzstan in summer 2010.[2] In September 2011 he applied for political asylum in Ukraine.[2] In October 2011 Ukrainian prosecutors granted a request to extradite him to Kyrgyzstan.[2] Prosecutors eventually withdrew permission to extradite Batyrov after UNHCR helped him to receive an offer of asylum in Sweden.[2]

He died in his sleep in Odessa, Ukraine.[3]
