 Following several egregious crimes against women and children, Kyrgyzstan’s President Sadyr Japarov publicly suggested that the death penalty might be restored. Politically, this statement can be considered a populist response to capitalise on the public outrage over gender-based violence. But beneath this political rhetoric lies a multi-faceted legal question: Kyrgyzstan abolished the death penalty almost twenty years ago, binding itself under international law to permanent abolition. In light of this, the Kyrgyz Republic can neither legally nor reputationally afford to reverse this course.
