He was brought to the Kokshetau police for interrogation. #Sharipov, deputy head of the police department in Kokshetau, told Baltashev's associates that they allegedly received an anonymous call that Baurzhan Baltashev had a gun. At the same time,

Baltashev Baurzhan himself was given to understand that he was detained so that he could not go to Astana for support in submitting documents to start registering the party.

The authorities not only do not register opposition parties,

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:

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.
