"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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

Apparently, the pickets will be around the clock, since from January 25 to March 22 all places and all time slots are occupied. The akimat did not offer an alternative day, time, place.

URGENTLY! ATTACK ON THE SON OF DINAR EGEUBAYEVA

On the night of February 4-5, 2023, #journalist Dinara #Egeubayeva reported that an armed attack (with a pistol) had been committed on her son.
The son of Dinara Egeubayeva is a citizen of a member state of the #EuropeanUnion.
2/7
This attack is connected not only with the self-nomination of Dinara Egeubayeva as a deputy to the Mazhilis from a single-mandate district in #Almaty, but also with her consistent and fair criticism of #Tokayev, interviews with victims of torture in January 2022,

@hrw @OSCE

and the requirements of an international investigation into the January executions and #torture.

This armed attack on the son of Dinara Egeubayeva is part of a systemic attack by the #Kazakh authorities on her.
