But a new wave of tensions is being anticipated on the Kyrgyz-Uzbek border near the Kyrgyz town of Kara-Suu, bordering on the Uzbek towns of Kara-Suv and Ilyichevsk, where, according to some sources, organizers of the May 14 disturbances are still being detained and arrested. Checkpoints are being removed in the Uzbek city of Andizhan, but the curfew is still in force and the military are patrolling the streets. (Interfax)
