Kyrgyzstan in Crisis
2010 • E22 Nov 7, 2010 60m
In June this year, hundreds of people were killed and thousands were displaced in ethnic clashes in the Central Asian region of Kyrgyzstan.
The violence prompted Kuranda Seyit, an Australian with Uzbek heritage, to travel to Kyrgyzstan to find out more about the killings.
He discovered burned-out buildings, scores of fresh graves, and obtained secretly-filmed video of violent attacks, which he smuggled back to Australia.
Kuranda spoke to Dateline about his journey, and provided us with the hidden-camera footage for a view of what happened.
