From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The interim Kyrgyzstan government is offering rewards of up to £66,000 for the capture of a son and three brothers of the ousted president Kurmanbek Bakiyev.
Mr Bakiyev was formally charged in absentia a week ago for a massacre, and an extradition request has been prepared. Belarus took him in after he fled in the aftermath of a revolt last month in which 85 people died. Mr Bakiyev's younger son Maksim, 33, and three of his brothers are wanted for "grave crimes" along with Daniyar Usenov and Igor Chudinov, two former prime ministers under Mr Bakiyev, the Kyrgyz government said.
