Tleuzhan Batalov

“… he left the house, there was no talk of a rally, that day the Internet did not work. Apparently, he joined the crowd intending to look at the peaceful assembly. He parked his car at the intersection of Seifullin and Aiteke bi streets. His friends called him, and they went to watch a peaceful rally in the square. He thought he would take a look and come back. We found his phone and passport in the car. According to friends, after the gas attack, they could not find Tleuzhan. He (Tleuzhan) was not on the square for long; he was wounded in the armpit in the chest area. In the evening, he was taken to the hospital. He (Tleuzhan) underwent surgery at the Central City Clinical Hospital but could not be saved. The doctors say that about 200 patients were admitted on January 5, and they did their best to help. It is not known who operated. They removed the bullet but sewed it up wrong. I think he bled out. Appropriate assistance was not provided on time. Otherwise, he would not have been in such a critical condition.”
