Thank you, Mr. Chair. We thank the representative of Kyrgyzstan for providing this information. As we said in Warsaw at the Human Dimension Implementation Meeting , the freedom of individuals to join with others in pursuing their legal goals is a basic right and a cornerstone of civil society. We are pleased that Kyrgyzstan has withdrawn the proposed ban on public meetings.

Thank you.
