Nurlybek Turarov

Taldykorgan Mother’s plea

18-YEAR-OLD Man WAS KILLED BY A BULLET TO THE HEAD

March 25, 2022

On January 6, 2022, an 18-year-old student of the Almaty Service College, one of five sons in the family, Nurlybek Turarov, left the house to buy bread and was shot dead. Having gone out searching for bread with a friend, they went to the bakery, as the shops were closed, but there was no bread in the bakery either. While driving by a car near a gas station, their car was fired upon. From the side of the gas station, the military opened fire on the vehicle; according to Nurlybek’s friend, he heard 10-15 shots. He and the driver of the vehicle were able to duck, but Nurlybek was hit in the head by a bullet. Having quickly left there, Nurlybek’s friend and the driver got out of the car and called an ambulance, but they were told to come themselves. Having found the car, they went to the hospital, but it was closed there, and they had to go to another one but Nurlybek died instantly from gunshot wounds to the head, heart, and right arm, and it was not possible to save him. Despite the parents’ refusal, on January 22, the police exhumed Nurlybek’s body for an examination. Since there was no Internet during the days of the protests, his fellow students were not even aware that the military was in the city, and even more so that they were shooting. It is necessary to demand that the authorities publish lists of all those killed during the January protests and that all those responsible for the executions of civilians be held accountable.
