20 days of administrative arrest for allegedly "violating the law on peaceful assembly", for taking part in a peaceful protest on 4 January 2022, exercising his constitutional right to freedom of peaceful assembly.
#KazakhstanProtests @eu_eeas @EU_Commission
I am a civil activist from Uralsk, Dastan Bazenov, father of two children.
On 5 January at around 15:30pm, Detective Officer Askar #Zhumabekov and three other officers stopped my car.
@MSimecka @MalinBjork_EU @TomasZdechovsky
Police officers illegally detained me and took me to the Abayevsky police station, interrogated me and then released me at around 6.30pm.
@HarekElvenes @Trinesg
On 7 January 2022, police officers illegally broke into my house and took me away by force to the city's internal affairs department. Due to the lack of internet, they could not hold an online trial against me.
@jettefc @trondhell @mariannemar
The judge was brought to the police station and a trial was held on the spot and I was sentenced under Article 488, part 11, to 20 days of administrative detention. The case was handled by investigator Yesei #Hairullin.
@EP_GenderEqual @jonasgahrstore
I was held alone in a cell for eleven days and I believe this was done deliberately in order to put psychological pressure on me.
@ecrgroup @DavidLega @Tineke_Strik
I ask international and human rights organisations and the European Parliament to conduct an international investigation into the January events.

Mother of civil activist Timur #Irzhanuly reports that her son was brutally tortured after peaceful protests .
#Kazakhstan #NotTerrorists #ActivistsNotExtremist #KazakhstanProtests @JosepBorrellF @EUinKazakhstan
The officers did whatever they could think of, hitting him in the lower back, on the kidneys, on the back. They put white paper on my son's back, which meant that he had to be hit particularly hard. They hit his legs, his thighs, and below.
At the moment, Timur is still in pre-trial detention.
My name is Saniya #Kleimenova, I live in Semey and I am Timur Irzhanuly's mother, born in 1989.
