On 4 March 2022, the Institute of Forensic Examinations for Almaty Oblast of the Ministry of Justice of Kazakhstan concluded that Azamat Batyrbaev, who was beaten and tortured with an iron, sustained light injuries.

Despite the fact that doctors had previously diagnosed concussion and extensive burns. In this way, the authorities want to soften the criminal case of torture so that all those responsible for the torture will receive lenient sentences.

However, one need only look at the photographs of the bruises and burns from the iron to see that there is no "light damage" to health. However, if you look at the pictures of bruises and burns from the iron, you can see that it was not "light damage".

Azamat Batyrbaev himself is in pre-trial detention
after suffering torture, he was refused a transfer to house arrest. Azamat Batyrbayev is being prosecuted under Article 272(2) ("Participation in mass disorder").

For the demolition of the Nazarbayev monument in the city of Taldykorgan on 5 January 2022.
On 16 March 2022, Tokayev stated that the authorities had acknowledged torture in Kazakhstan following the January protests,

have been commissioned to investigate thoroughly, torture must be eradicated at the root. It turns out that there is no transparent investigation. The perpetrators of torture have still not been arrested (except one person).

The authorities are softening the conclusions of the expert examinations in order to mitigate the punishment for the perpetrators of torture. Hence the independent international investigation.
