Funerals have taken place in the Central Asian nation of Kyrgyzstan for some of the dozens of people killed in political unrest in Bishkek on Wednesday.
Thousands of people also gathered in the central square in the capital to pray for those who died, on what the interim government had declared a day of national mourning.
Many of the mourners blamed ousted President Kurmanbek Bakiyev for the deaths, saying he ordered the security forces to open fire on protesters.
Mr Bakiyev has fled to the south of the country where he is thought to be attempting to rally support. He has refused to resign, blaming his opponents for the unrest.
Much of the city was badly damaged in the violence, with protesters setting vehicles on fire, smashing windows and ransacking government buildings.
The capital was reported to be calm on Friday but gunfire was heard overnight as security forces and vigilante groups tackled looters.
Interim leader Roza Otunbayeva, who visited some of the victims of the violence in hospital on Friday, has promised to hold elections within six months.
Ms Otunbayeva said the uprising was "our way of saying that we want justice and democracy" and that Mr Bakiyev had no choice but to stand down.
