He's being prosecuted for allegedly "stealing or extorting weapons". He was a victim of provocation which was carried out by provocateurs under the control of the authorities.As a second-year student, he went out during peaceful rallies out of curiosity.

On the way, provocateurs took him to a police building and forced him to take weapons, which were lying freely on the floor. There was not a single police officer in the building.

Police officers forcefully detained civil activist Orynbay #OKHASOV. Police officers stopped him in his car. When Orynbay OKHASOV was asked to explain the reason for stopping the car, the police officers said that they "smelled alcohol".
2/4
Orynbay OKHASOV’S whereabouts are unknown. Perhaps the authorities want to deprive him of his rights and arrest him in order to intimidate the people before the elections on 19 March 2023.
