Settlement #Eastern #Semey. Civic activist Kerbez #Eginbayeva demands an immediate end to political persecution and the release of civil activist and political prisoner Farit #Ishmukhametov #NotTerrorists #Kazakhstan @DeirdreCluneMEP

Who is illegally accused under Article 269 ("Attacks on or seizure of buildings, structures, means of communication and communication") and Article 272 part 2 ("Participation in mass riots") #KazakhstanProtests #ActivistsNotExtremists @MiguelUrban

Farit was sent to the detention center for the duration of the investigation of the trumped-up criminal case. On January 5, Farit Ishmukhametov took part in a peaceful protest @iwiseler @eugen_tomac #ProtestJanuary2022

At the rally, like all peaceful citizens, he did not commit any violent acts and did not take part in mass riots, but rather tried to stop provocateurs who carried out pogroms and arson.@NachoSAmor @isabel_mep

He is illegally accused of "seizing" the akimat building and "participating" in the mass unrest. Farit Ishmukhametov has been a civil activist for several years.@jordisolef @LeopoldoLopezG

In addition to participating in peaceful rallies, supporting political prisoners, and criticizing the authorities, Farit got the local authorities to provide electricity and water to his native village.

And for his active position, the activist is regularly persecuted by the authorities of Kazakhstan. He lives with his 90-year-old elderly mother. Due to her age she cannot defend the rights of her son, she cannot walk.

The activist's family is his mother and himself. Farit's mother is in a serious condition, she is very ill and is very worried about her son. Kerbez Yeginbaeva fears that the activist's mother may die while he is in custody in the detention center.@rozathun

This case once again demonstrates the arbitrary nature and political motive of the persecution of civilians.@HolvenyiGyorgy @KarinKarlsbro @EPPGroup
