As we have reported, B.Bulgan the wife of S.Zorig, the “Golden Swallow of Democracy”, has been in prison awaiting trial since November in 2015. She has been held incommunicado at a detention center in Tuv Province. According to Deputy State General Prosecutor E.Amarbat, B.Bulgan and two others have been accused of the murder of S.Zorig. This is top secret case. Another source said, intelligence officers have begun questioning B.Bulgan.

S.Zorig was murdered on Friday, October 2, 1998. It was as shocking to Mongolians as President Kennedy's assassination was to Americans. In 1990 S.Zorig led huge pro-democracy rallies which ended 70 years of communist rule in the landlocked country of steppes, taiga and desert between China and Russia. Once he defused a potential Tiananmen Square-type bloodbath by persuading 10,000 pro-democracy protesters to sit down rather than confront armed soldiers.
