The court in Isfara, however, fined both Kyrgyz drivers about $300 for minor offenses.


Avazbek Karataev and Janyshbek Ismanov were arrested in October after two Tajik passengers they were carrying from Bishkek to Isfara accused them of abduction.  The drivers rejected the charges.


The head of the human rights department in the Batken regional administration, Tashtemir Eshaliev, told RFE/Rl's Kyrgyz Service today that the two had now returned home.
