Monday's biggest demonstration drew about 15,000 people to the southern city of Jalal-Abad, a local government spokesman said. There were no reports of violence a day after demonstrators burned down much of the police headquarters, freed 70 detained protesters and occupied the governor's office."There was no forced entry. The residence was unsecured," Dawsy said of the home where Jessica lived with her grandparents and father.But another opposition leader, Kurmanbek Bakiyev, said talks would be possible if Akayev attended.Another opposition member, Anvar Artykov, told the crowd that "Power in Osh has been taken over by people! ... I congratulate you on our victory and urge you to maintain order."Akayev aide Abdil Seghizbayev said security forces would not take action against the protesters but said talks would only be possible after order is restored.The crowd began to disperse in the afternoon.Protesters in the southern town of Toktogul held captive for a third day a district governor and a chief district prosecutor, both of whom are accused of colluding with Akayev's government, police said.Akayev has led this mainly Muslim nation for 15 years.Roza Otunbayeva, leader of the Ata-Jurt Movement, one of the main opposition groups, and a former foreign minister, ruled out any talks with Akayev."Neither authorities nor opposition leaders can control the crowd right now," he said. "If an (opposition) leader emerges who can control the protesters, the government will be ready to talk to him."
