He noticed another car parked 30 metres away from his car and a wounded man (who sustained a bullet wound) laying on the ground. Ansar ran to help the wounded man. Along with another man, he put the wounded man in the car.

But at that very moment Ansar received two gunshot wounds (in the neck and pelvis), as a result of which he died.

On 7 April, the police exhumed the body three months after the funeral, despite the family's attempts to challenge the decision in court.

in connection with the fact that their house was searched.
Instead of investigating and arresting all those involved in the brutal torture of Azamat BATYRBAYEV, the authorities are prosecuting him. What kind of “search” is it, three months after the protests?
@rozathun

It should be reminded that Azamat BATYRBAYEV was beaten and tortured with a red-hot iron. Only one police officer was arrested, although it is clear that many more were involved.

Procedural status is not indicated and, therefore, the summons is invalid. It was signed by #SEYDAKHAN A., investigator of the Kyzylorda City Prosecutor's Office.

On 8 April, the activist ignored an unlawful summons to the police due to its political motivation.

It is worth noting that there is a risk that the prosecutor's office will file a protest and the court of appeal will reverse the decision on parole. We therefore continue to demand the release of Kairat KLYSHEV.

We must wait until Kairat is released and the decision can still be overturned, so we demand not only Kairat's release, but also the removal of all restrictions and full rehabilitation, as required by the European Parliament resolution.

On 6 January 2022, Ruslan #Zhubanazarov went to a peaceful protest and did not take part in the pogroms. Ruslan was shot dead on the morning of 7 January 2022. The parents are not given a medical certificate as to the cause of Ruslan's death.
Ruslan's family could not receive Ruslan's body for almost a month. Nurotan staff called Ruslan's father offering help, but later Nurotan and Akimat staff told Ruslan's father not to look for the cause of Ruslan's death.

Despite the fact that doctors had previously diagnosed concussion and extensive burns. In this way, the authorities want to soften the criminal case of torture so that all those responsible for the torture will receive lenient sentences.

The officers did whatever they could think of, hitting him in the lower back, on the kidneys, on the back. They put white paper on my son's back, which meant that he had to be hit particularly hard. They hit his legs, his thighs, and below.
