Mongolia moves toward democracy: "Depending on whom one believes, Mongolia's former president Nambaryn Enkhbayar is either a champion of democracy targeted for judicial persecution by an increasingly authoritarian regime, or he is a corrupt charlatan whose finely crafted portrayal of martyrdom hoodwinked Washing-ton, the United Nations and the European Union.
The evidence suggests the second view is nearer the truth and Mongolia's Constitutional Court has upheld a General Election Commission ruling that because Enkhbayar, president from 2005 to 2009, is facing five corruption charges, he is not eligible to run in parliamentary elections on June 28."
