Gulzhanat Sadyrbaeva:
On January 5, 2022, she received a call that there was a rally going on. She went there as a human rights activist and was there until 7 pm. Then she went home for health reasons. Raigul is disabled of the 3rd group.@EamonGilmore
She has a very serious blood disease, lupus erythematosus, so she can't stand for long. She went home with Aliya Isenova.
On January 6, she also went to the rally by the evening, as she had to take her medications and had medical procedures in the morning.
At that time the square was already cordoned off, Aliya Isenova was wounded, and she was taken to the emergency hospital (BSMP). In the BSMP, Raigul gave the blood-stained clothes to Aliya Isenova, who was shot, and she took them and took them home.@jettefc
On January 12 they came to her house and illegally arrested her, searched her, turned everything upside down, took her blood-stained and shot Aliya Isenova's jacket, laptops, and phone. They took Raigul away. We didn't see her after that.@Trinesg@AHuitfeldt
She was told that she could not and would not get any legal assistance. It turns out that during this time she was tortured, strangled, wanted to be raped with a truncheon, and other forms of torture were used on her.@HarekElvenes@TomasZdechovsky@nnienass
It was not until January 19 that her lawyer was able to contact her. And we never got in touch with her, we didn't see her until February 2022.@TheProgressives@RenewEurope@eugen_tomac
I ask the European Parliament to help my daughter, as she has done nothing illegal. She is a well-known human rights activist in Kazakhstan, she was only engaged in human rights activities and human rights monitoring @germanyintheeu@CyprusinEU@NLatEU
