Moldomusa Tashbolotovich Kongantiyev (Kyrgyz: Молдомуса Ташболотович Конгантиев; 31 March 1958 – 12 February 2022) was a Kyrgyzstani politician who served as Interior Minister of Kyrgyzstan until April 2010.
Kongantiyev was born on 31 March 1958.[1] In April 2010, there were conflicting media reports as to whether Kongantiyev was killed in Talas or taken hostage during the 2010 Kyrgyzstan riots.[2][3][4] The Interior Ministry of Kyrgyzstan denied reports about Kongantiyev's death,[5] and on 8 April 2010 he was shown heavily beaten up, but alive, in a television report.[6] Opposition leader Bolotbek Sherniyazov was named new interim interior minister.[citation needed]
He died on 12 February 2022, at the age of 63.[7]
