In his appeal, the activist told how he and his family have been persecuted by the authorities of Kazakhstan since 2019. They want to protect him from society for his active citizenship and criticism of the authorities.

He was tried on fabricated criminal cases, under the articles:

Since January 7, 2022, Zhanmurat Ashtaev has been arrested. Now he is in the institution ICh-167/11. In July, he was illegally sentenced in a politically motivated criminal case to 3 years and 1 month in prison.

In his appeal, Zhanmurat worries about his safety. His life is in danger. Provocations await him in prison. In case something happens to him: an accident or an extension of the prison term, he asks to blame:

The Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the President of Kazakhstan as a guarantor of compliance with the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Also appointees of the President:

Zhanmurat Ashtaev addressed the President of Kazakhstan, the Prosecutor General, the Chairman of the Supreme Court, the Commissioner for #HumanRights in Kazakhstan, the Secretary of State of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the #UN and Kazakhstani human rights activists.

But his appeals were accepted only by representatives of the Commissioner for Human Rights and the Chief Prosecutor.

These actions show that the authorities of Kazakhstan are persecuting civilians, activists and human rights defenders for the January events.

On September 6, 2022, the political prisoner Rufat #Khamidulin was released from the pre-trial detention center, replacing the measure of restraint from arrest in the pre-trial detention center to a written undertaking not to leave.

Thanks to the public defense carried out by human rights activists and Rufat's wife, the preventive measure was replaced.

The political criminal case against him has not been closed; there is no transparent and objective investigation of his case.

The authorities did not conduct an objective and transparent investigation into the case of torture against Rufat - not a single employee was held accountable. History of Rufat:
