text: Violent protests break out in Kyrgyzstan over allegedly rigged parliamentary elections
  
  March 21, 2005 
  
  At least 10,000 protesters stormed government buildings, burnt down a police station, and took control of an airport to prevent reinforcements from being flown into Jalal-Abad, Kyrgyzstan today as they demanded the resignation of president Askar Akayev. The protesters claim that recent parliamentary elections were rigged. 
  According to a police source in the capital of Bishkek, four police were beaten to death in clashes with protesters. 
  Last week, Akayev warned civil war would break out if there was an attempt to copy the Ukrainian "Orange Revolution." However, the government says it wants a peaceful resolution. "We have never gone against our own people, especially not with weapons in our hands," Prime Minister Nikolai Tanayev said.
