⚫️ On internet blackouts
"It was blocked in the night of 5 January. It was a total blackout because the state of emergency declared in the country. Then there were partial blackouts and it was impossible to know when the net would work," says @Darhaneo

📱On how they adapted
"The Internet blackouts made it very difficult to work and to process very heavy video materials. So we switch to cell phone cameras. We would shoot and send it right away to our colleagues in Prague," says @Darhaneo

🎥 On the day he was arrested
"When I was arrested, the Internet came back and I started shooting from the back of the police van. I decided to go live on Facebook and interviewed the people who were detained with me," says @Darhaneo

🛠 On reporting tools
"Social networks and messaging apps like Telegram work very well in this kind of difficult situations, where Internet is not working. They make it easier to post news messages and to publish short stories," says @Darhaneo twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

🏛 On Kazakh leaders
"The President said there were 20,000 terrorists, and we were sure that would be very difficult to prove. But there are other people who had no alternative sources who may accept that point of view," says @Darhaneo twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

📚 On what he's learnt
"Authoritarian regimes always try to hide the truth. It's always good to prepare for an arrest and learn your legal rights. I am aware I received a better treatment because I represent an international media outlet," says @Darhaneo twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

🌏 On what he and his colleagues need from the international community
"We need more awareness. If foreign journalists write about us, the government will be more careful. Authorities feel the pressure from abroad ," says @Darhaneo twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

👌 On building a good reputation
"It's not hard for us to build a good reputation because there are not many independent news outlets in Kazakhstan. Just covering the protests builds your reputation because official media don't cover them," says @Darhaneo twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

📊 On collecting data
"We created a database with a list of people killed in the protests. In the beginning the list was unverified. But we asked our audience to verify it and they provided documents about relatives and improved quality," says @Darhaneo twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
