Politically motivated refusals to notifications of peaceful assemblies. On 11 April 2022, the Akimat (local executive body) of #Aktau issued a refusal to hold a peaceful assembly on 1 May 2022 in response to a notification submitted by activist Bolat #NURGAZIN.

@EUSR_CA 2/3
The topic of the peaceful assembly: "In solidarity with Ukraine. No to war. In favour of leaving the #CSTO and #EAEU. Increase in people's incomes.
The reason for the politically motivated refusal: mass cultural and sporting events are going to be held on that day.

It should be reminded that Abay BEGIMBETOV and a number of other activists were illegally sentenced to 5 years of imprisonment in October 2021 for their peaceful activism: participation in peaceful protests, criticism of the authorities.

IS IT PROHIBITED TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE IN KAZAKHSTAN?

#Almaty
The Kazakhstani authorities are persecuting Almas #MUKHAMETOV for placing a sticker with inscription "Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!" in his private office.

Police officers have arrived at the office and are about to draw up some protocol under an unknown Article against Almas. Is it prohibited to express personal opinion in Kazakhstan? Or is it prohibited to show support for Ukraine in Kazakhstan?

MAY THEY FIND MY SON'S KILLER AND PUNISH HIM

#Shymkent
On 5 January 2022, a 22-year-old man named Ansar #ISLAM drove with his brother to change oil in his car. He noticed another car parked 30 metres away from his car and a wounded man laying on the ground.

@EamonGilmore 2/4
Ansar ran to help the wounded man. Along with another man, he put the wounded man in the car, but at that very moment he himself received two gunshot wounds (in the neck and pelvis), as a result of which he died.
