Maroua Eskendirova is prosecuted on political grounds for participating in peaceful protests and criticising the authorities.

In the days before the protests, she is being tracked in order to prevent her participation in the protest.

We continue to publish testimony on human rights violations related to the January 2022 protests.
The testimonies point to gross violations of Kazakhstan's international human rights obligations.
