I’m still upset abt #Kazakhstan's tax authorities fining & suspending the @bureau_kz & @ILIFoundation for 3 months. Aside from being highly repressive, it’s also completely counterproductive to the govt’s stated intent to be more responsive to citizens’ concerns. A thread.

The Kazakhstani Gov't is targeting Civil Society in an attempt to silence NGOs.

ILI co-founder Amangeldi doesn't mince words: "It's a knife to the throat."

We demand that the government does not replace the quarantine with punitive measures, which will lead to further destabilization and absence of medical help.
