After hours of beatings , practically without water and food, they had to sleep on the cold floor in a cold cell 😱😰.
And this bullying went on for many days.

While President Tokayev acknowledged the torture of detainees in his address and noted the "unacceptability" of these methods, in many cases
perpetrators of torture and beatings have not been brought to justice.

TOKAYEV'S NEW KAZAKHSTAN BEGAN WITH IMPUNITY FOR TORTURE.
While President Tokayev in his statement acknowledged the torture of detainees during the January events, and noted the "unacceptability" of these methods, all remains unchanged.

@EamonGilmore @rozathun

Tokayev's statement about recognition of the facts of tortures remained just another empty statement.
It is the same Kazakhstan with political repression, the same impunity for torture, and lack of objectivity and transparency in investigation.
