1/4 In the context of #Ukraine, I would like to draw your attention to 🇰🇿, where human rights defenders are under pressure. In particular for recording the facts of #TORTURE & the shooting of #kazakhstanprotests2022 in January of this year. @CoESpokesperson @MartinaMlinare1

2/4 @Ombudsperson_KZ, met with the @CommissionerHR,did not talk about the realities of the country. Today in court human rights activist Aidar #Syzdykov said that he was ready to go to #suicide.Because it's simply impossible to defend the violated rights in the system, @sturcalo

3/4 where all forces are used against the dissenters within the law. Civil society condemns the introduction of #CSTO forces & demands withdrawal from the military and economic union. @Verfassungsblog @MihraRittmann @OSCE_RFoM @freedomhouse @telegraaf @anceschistan @courtneywmh

4/4 Instead of condemning #Putin's aggression, the #Kazakhstan government has declared war on civil activists & human rights defenders. It does not implement the #Resolutions @Europarl_EN, uses extremist legislation against dissenters. @ShannonTiezzi @ilhankyuchyuk @USAIDCtrAsia
