IN THE PAPERS
By James CREEDON

 

In Kyrgyzstan, the opposition has announced a government takeover and scores have been left dead after violent protests in the past couple of days.

Several photos show the police being beaten and dragged through the streets or jumping over walls in order to escape protestors.
