Like Kulov, he’s killed people, according to The Moscow Times:
His government cracked down on demonstrators, with his interior minister saying that riots that broke out in Bakiyev’s home region in the south in March 2002 were an attempt to overthrow the government. Police fired into the crowd of 1,500 protesting the arrest of their local parliamentary deputy in Jalal-Abad, and five people died. An investigation found senior officials responsible for the tragedy, and Bakiyev was forced to resign.
