Erkin Dzhumabaevich Alymbekov (Russian: Эркинбек Джумабаевич Алымбеков; 5 November 1961 – 29 August 2016), also spelled as Erkinbek Alymbekov, was a Kyrgyz politician.[1] He was a member of the Supreme Council of Kyrgyzstan from 2005 until 2007 and from 2010 until his resignation in 2014. He resigned in protest of the government's decision to work with a Canadian company on the Kumtor Gold Mine.[2] In his second term, he was a member of the Ata Meken Socialist Party and was a deputy speaker.[3][4]
Alymbekov was the chairman of the Human Rights Committee of Parliament, and was a member of Kyrgyzstan's Human Rights Advisory Board. He was also a significant regional partner of the Danish Institute for Human Rights.[5]
He died of sudden cardiac arrest on 29 August 2016, aged 54.[2]
