On 9 March, a man, who introduced himself as an associate of the Police Department “Saryarka”, #SULEIMENOV Nurbek called Tabys and invited him to the Police Department regarding his participation in a peaceful protest on 4 January 2022.

The policeman summoned the activist over the phone without explaining the meeting agenda, as required by law. Also, like all peaceful citizens, Tabys did not commit any violent acts or riots at the rally.

It should be reminded that in other cities, riots, arson and looting have been organised by criminal groups under the control of the authorities.

At the end of the phone conversation, the policeman expressed his understanding of the activist’ actions, but informed him that “it [persecuting peaceful citizens for political reasons] is his job”. At this moment we do not know the destiny of Tabys MAGRUPKANULY.

Apparently, the pickets will be around the clock, since from January 25 to March 22 all places and all time slots are occupied. The akimat did not offer an alternative day, time, place.

URGENTLY! ATTACK ON THE SON OF DINAR EGEUBAYEVA

On the night of February 4-5, 2023, #journalist Dinara #Egeubayeva reported that an armed attack (with a pistol) had been committed on her son.
The son of Dinara Egeubayeva is a citizen of a member state of the #EuropeanUnion.
2/7
This attack is connected not only with the self-nomination of Dinara Egeubayeva as a deputy to the Mazhilis from a single-mandate district in #Almaty, but also with her consistent and fair criticism of #Tokayev, interviews with victims of torture in January 2022,

and the requirements of an international investigation into the January executions and #torture.

This armed attack on the son of Dinara Egeubayeva is part of a systemic attack by the #Kazakh authorities on her.
