1/6 "CHOKED WITH CELLOPHANE BAG OVER HIS HEAD" - OR FAIRY TALE ABOUT 20,000 TERRORISTS #ZHUBAKOV Yerbolat can barely hold back his tears as he tells about horrific torture his son #ZHUBAKOV Rinat was subjected to.
2/6 Rinat was beaten on his ribs and kidneys and was choked with a cellophane bag over his head - all of this was done to make him confess to crimes he didn't commit. How else could 20,000 mysterious terrorists be found for President TOKAYEV?
3/6 It has been 2 months since Rinat has been detained in a pre-trial detention facility in Ust-Kamenogorsk. At the present moment his criminal case is not moving forward, and the investigators remain silent.Rinat was arbitrarily detained nearby his house on 9 January.
4/6 Why "arbitrarily"? Because he was detained by unidentified people without showing him any documents, orders, etc.; they just twisted his arms and took him away.By the way, he was detained when he and his family were having a memorial ceremony for his relative.
5/6 Deeply depressed, Rinat's father also mentions about one young ethnic Kazakh migrant from Turkey with a surname #OSMANOV, who was subjected to atrocious beatings and torture as well.
6/6 After another "interrogation" he was coughing up so much blood that he died right in the cell of the pre-trial detention facility. Should you have any information about migrant OSMANOV'S relatives, let us know, please.#Zhubakov#Oskemen#UstKamenogorsk
