2/5 On 8 April police officers left two unlawful summons for Aliya URASHEVA with demands to appear in a criminal case No. 224300031000001 at the Kyzylorda Police Department on 8 April 2022, at 15:00 and on 9 April at 10:00. @UnderSecStateJ @Ombudsperson_KZ @EUinKazakhstan
3/5 Procedural status is not indicated and, therefore, the summons is invalid. It was signed by #SEYDAKHAN A., investigator of the Kyzylorda City Prosecutor's Office.
On 8 April, the activist ignored an unlawful summons to the police due to its political motivation. @SwedeninEU
4/5 This persecution is related to Alia URASHEVA'S participation in a peaceful rally on 4 January 2022. After the protests,on 10 January 2022, the authorities punished her with administrative detention for 5 days.
The abovementioned criminal case was fabricated under⤵️ @rozathun
5/5 Article 272 Parts 1, 2 and 3 ("mass disorders"). Previously, the authorities were looking for Zakir #ASKERBEK, a civil activist and participant of January's peaceful rallies. Just like all peaceful citizens, Alia did not commit any violent acts and looting at the rally.
2/5 He noticed another car parked 30 metres away from his car and a wounded man (who sustained a bullet wound) laying on the ground. Ansar ran to help the wounded man. Along with another man, he put the wounded man in the car. @UnderSecStateJ @Ombudsperson_KZ @anceschistan
3/5 But at that very moment Ansar received two gunshot wounds (in the neck and pelvis), as a result of which he died.
On 7 April, the police exhumed the body three months after the funeral, despite the family's attempts to challenge the decision in court. @KleptoAlliance

3/6 The policeman asked his friend whether or not Azat was with them. After his friend confirmed, Azat was also beaten. They hit him with their fists, kicked him in the head. @anceschistan @Ombudsperson_KZ @EUinKazakhstan @EU_Commission
2/5 in connection with the fact that their house was searched.
Instead of investigating and arresting all those involved in the brutal torture of Azamat BATYRBAYEV, the authorities are prosecuting him. What kind of “search” is it, three months after the protests? @rozathun
3/5 It should be reminded that Azamat BATYRBAYEV was beaten and tortured with a red-hot iron. Only one police officer was arrested, although it is clear that many more were involved. @UnderSecStateJ @Ombudsperson_KZ @NachoSAmor @EUinKazakhstan
