More and more citizens are becoming convinced that promises of political reform and political competition remain mere words when independent politicians and activists find themselves in the dock.

This is not just about the fate of one person. It is about the right of citizens to form political parties, openly express their views, and participate in the country’s political life without fear of ending up behind bars.

Tokayev keeps political proceedings behind closed doors because he fears public scrutiny. They do not want people to see how criminal cases are fabricated, the rights of the accused are violated, and the judicial system is used to put pressure on civil society activists.

the proceedings hidden from the public. Closed-door trials have become part of a pattern of political repression,in which those deemed a threat are tried without public oversight or transparency.

In Kazakhstan, identical methods and charges are increasingly being used against activists who openly oppose government policies.

CLOSED TRIALS AS A TOOL OF REPRESSION AGAINST AMANGELDY JAKHIN

Amangeldy #Dzhakhina is charged under Articles 405 and 258 of the Criminal Code—the same articles under which the authorities previously convicted Marat Zhylanbayev, leader of the “Alga Kazakhstan” party.

“They want people who are quiet and compliant. But I am a mother, and I will protect my children,” Elvira Bekzadina declared.

Today’s court hearing once again demonstrated how Tokayev’s system works against activists and people with a civic conscience.

However, instead of investigating these actions, the authorities are trying to portray the situation as if Elvira were to blame for what happened.

At the time of her arrest, Elvira was in the yard of her own home, exercising her constitutional right to lay flowers

THE TOKAYEV REGIME IS PUTTING A MOTHER ON TRIAL FOR DEFENDING HER CHILDREN

The prosecutor’s office and the judicial system have effectively sided with the police officers who, according to her, unlawfully detained her family and humiliated her minor children.

The “basis” for the prosecution was her attempt to protect her minor children (ages 10 and 7) from the actions of police officers: On December 16, 2025, when Elvira #Bekzadina left her home with her two children to lay flowers for the victims of political repression,

We call on human rights organizations around the world to prevent this injustice! The trial must be an act of justice,not a travesty of justice!
