Police officers forcefully detained civil activist Orynbay #OKHASOV. Police officers stopped him in his car. When Orynbay OKHASOV was asked to explain the reason for stopping the car, the police officers said that they "smelled alcohol". 2/4
Orynbay OKHASOV’S whereabouts are unknown. Perhaps the authorities want to deprive him of his rights and arrest him in order to intimidate the people before the elections on 19 March 2023.
