She was taken to the Peremetnoe settlement and placed in a solitary confinement cell for the purpose of isolation.

Marua ESKENDIROVA has been persecuted based on political reasons for participation in peaceful protests, criticism of the authorities.

A few days before the protest she is being tracked in order to prevent her participation in the protest. We continue to publish evidence on the human rights’ violations, related to the January 2022 protests.

This evidence indicates blatant violations of the international obligations, committed by Kazakhstan.
