On 5 March 2022 I received the images of my building I live in, the section of the building and the balcony to my WhatsApp messenger from an unknown phone number.
2/5 Following these images, I also received a threatening message of religious nature. Due to this threat, on the same day I filed a complaint to the Munaily District Police Department.
3/5 The complaint was received by the police captain #KOISHANOV Amir Zhaksybayevich; a few hours later he notified me that my complaint was left without consideration.

2/3 The topic of the peaceful assembly: "In solidarity with Ukraine. No to war. In favour of leaving the #CSTO and #EAEU. Increase in people's incomes.
The reason for the politically motivated refusal: mass cultural and sporting events are going to be held on that day.

1/4 #Almaty
On 14 April 2022 at 09:40 political prisoner Abay #BEGIMBETOV’s application for release on parole is going to be considered in #Kapshagay district court.
2/4 It should be reminded that Abay BEGIMBETOV and a number of other activists were illegally sentenced to 5 years of imprisonment in October 2021 for their peaceful activism: participation in peaceful protests, criticism of the authorities.
3/4 In its resolutions in 2021 and 2022 the European Parliament called upon the Kazakhstani authorities to release and rehabilitate all political prisoners, including Abay BEGIMBETOV.
2/5 A story we have heard repeatedly in different variations: gunshot wound, abduction by special forces from the hospital, torture in the pre-trial detention facility SI-18, fabricated criminal case.
3/5 All this points to the fact that it was an order to fabricate the case about "terrorists" given by high-ranking officials. Both the people who ordered it, including Nazarbayev and Tokayev, and the executors of the criminal orders themselves should be held responsible.
