AksyAksy is a small town in southern Kyrgyzstan which gained notoriety in 2002 when police and militia fired into a crowd of unarmed demonstrators, killing five. The demonstrations were triggered by a political dispute between a local member of the national parliament and Kyrgyz President Askar Akayev over an agreement with China that ceded some territory in the high Tien Shan range to China.
