Kyrgyz police use teargas, water cannon to disperse protest

Kyrgyz police used teargas and water cannon to disperse thousands of people demonstrating against the parliamentary election result on Monday, after some protesters tried to break into the government headquarters.

Supporters of several parties that failed to win any seats according to preliminary results rallied in the central square of capital Bishkek, denouncing the vote as fraudulent. Two establishment parties looked set to dominate the parliament.
