Comments on: The Great Escape http://ianbek.kg/?p=7599 Observations from an expat Sat, 16 Aug 2014 06:45:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8.4 By: ian http://ianbek.kg/?p=7599&cpage=1#comment-1235 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 05:21:19 +0000 http://ianbek.kg/?p=7599#comment-1235 I know there is a tunnel from the White House to a bunker underneath the main square, but I didn’t know there was a tunnel to the GKNB. You could be right but I read that he was driven out the back gates, (on the Northern side of the building – away from Prospect Chui).

Anyway, thanks for the thought.

Actually, there are a couple of postcards on the website: http://ianbek.kg/?p=290 and http://ianbek.kg/?p=5999. It also crops up in several other of the weekly postcards.

I am also not sure if it happens in Xinjiang … the Chinese might have a different attitude to the practice.

You might also find this postcard interesting: http://ianbek.kg/?p=5697

I see that Wikipedia has an entry on the subject, and Human Rights watch had a report. Worth a postcard!
(I’ve been looking for material on women in Central Asia for my course.)
I’ve never heard of the practice among the small number of Kyrgyz in Xinjjiang.
