“The preventive measure in the form of detention was extended in respect of Atambayev for the duration of the trial, which, according to the law, lasts two months,” TASS quoted him as saying.
Earlier, the Supreme Court of Kyrgyzstan recognized the deprivation of Atambayev's immunity as legal.
The former head of Kyrgyzstan is suspected of involvement in five crimes.
Atambayev was detained on August 8 during an assault on his residence by security forces.
