Protest against Russian interference

Our organization FreeKazakhs and other activists on January 8th, 2022 held a rally on Times Square in New York against the entry of the occupying forces of Russia and the CSTO countries, demanding the immediate withdrawal of foreign occupying forces and non-interference in the sovereignty of Kazakhstan and the will of its people.

Dictator Kassym Zhomart Tokayev on the night of January 5-6 of this year officially appealed to Russia and the CSTO forces with a call for the entry of troops to suppress peaceful protesters. The regime of Kazakhstan initially used special provocateurs among peaceful protesters to set fires and riots in order to discredit peaceful protesters in the city of Almaty. Tokayev used it to label peaceful protesters, he called them on the state TV channel and his Twitter account, the quote “20 thousand terrorists in Almaty city alone”, later he deleted this tweet. And this gave him a “legal” way to call on the foreign occupying military forces of Russia and the CSTO to physically exterminate peaceful protesters. According to official figures, 227 people were killed during the rally and more than 12,000 people were arrested and subjected to daily inhuman torture.his tweet.

Russia exerts undue influence and aggression towards against Kazakhstan including forced economic unions and consequent loss of sovereignty and economical independence. FreeKazakhs advocates leaving all Russian economic unions and closing down Russian military bases in Kazakhstan. We want full independence and autonomy free from Russian control!

Protest against Tokayev regime

On January 15, 2022, FreeKazakhs and the Kazakh diaspora in the United States together held the first nationwide rally of the Kazakh diaspora in the United States to support the Kazakh people and strongly condemn the Tokayev-Nazarbayev regime.

In Kazakhstan, on January 2, 2022, the People massively and peacefully went to rallies demanding economic and political reforms in the country. The regime, using the National Security Committee, created special destructive units that were provided with weapons and other means to merge with peaceful protesters, carry out various provocations in order to give a negative background to peaceful protesters and discredit their actions.

Using this illegal and dirty method, the dictator Tokayev labeled peaceful protesters as terrorists and called on the military forces of Russia and the CSTO to crack down on the protesters. After that, 227 people were killed and 12,000 peaceful protesters were arrested and tortured to this day.

Our diaspora has come out with demands for an immediate end to torture, the release of peaceful protesters from prisons, the withdrawal of the Russian military from Kazakhstan, with demands for the creation of an independent group from democratic countries to investigate the execution and torture of peaceful protesters.
