In March 2021 the authorities threatened to kill his son, and Orynbayi OKHASSOV himself was subjected to two assassination attempts.

In November 2021 Orynbai OKHASSOV was sentenced to 1 year of restriction of liberty for allegedly "participating in the activities of an extremist organisation".

The Probation Service requested that his restriction of liberty be replaced with imprisonment for allegedly violating the terms of his probation - participation in a protest in Uralsk on 4 January 2022. Orynbai OKHASSOV himself denies participating in the peaceful protest.
5/5
However, it is worth noting that even if he would have taken part in a peaceful protest, this is his constitutional right. The authorities violate their international human rights obligations by simulating the democratisation process in the country.

Saule IMANGOZHINA couldn’t find her son for a long time. Nobody could tell her his location. Wherever she went, she heard about operation “Seizure”. She was not allowed in, pushed back with a gun.

Next, Serik lost consciousness.
When he regained consciousness, he asked for water, but instead of water the police officers beat him a couple more times.

Tokhtar is the only breadwinner for his parents and he is seeking help from international organisations to protect his rights and to prevent the Kazakhstani authorities from ruining his life, as they did for many victims of the January events.

They were the ones who went into the Akimat (local executive body) of Aktobe and destroyed everything there. And the people just stood in front of the Akimat demanding that the Akims (heads of local government) or deputies come out to them.
