** The leader of the unregistered Democratic Party of Kazakhstan was against two new charges.Now the activist faces up to 10 years in prison. **
On June 7, the Mamai Janbulat Mamai was charged with two grave articles of the Criminal Code - ** Part 1 Article 272 “Organization of mass riots accompanied by violence **”, ** Part 4 Article 274 “Distribution of knowingly false information that creates a danger of violation of public order.” **
This means that he is accused of organizing January unrest and the distribution of knowingly false information during the events of the bloody January.
“Initially, Zhanbolat was put into a pre -trial detention center for insulting a policeman and for the distribution of knowingly false information on a credit amnesty.On June 7, he was added two more articles for the January unrest.Together, according to four articles, he faces up to 10 years in prison, ”said Inga Imanbai.
Zhanbolat Mamai himself from SI -18 commented on that the “Organization of the riots” means holding a peaceful rally on January 4 in the square near Almaty Arena.Allegedly there, Mamai urged citizens to go to the square of the republic.
“First of all, there is a full version of my speech at Almaty Arena, where it is clearly audible that I did not call anyone somewhere.On the contrary, he asked everyone to stay in place, not to break anything and not to enter into a clash with the police.This video is published on social networks.Moreover, a few minutes later I was detained with other peaceful protesting police.I could not lead anyone to the square, physically was no longer at the scene, ”says Mamai.
Under the “obviously false information”, according to the leader of the DPC, his phrases are perceived that 10 thousand people were protesting in the square in Zhanaozen in early January.Mamai claims that it was open and reliable information published in the media.
“Or the prosecutor’s office wants to refute this, saying that they counted everyone, and there were only 9999 protesters?Where is the logic?If we proceed from the logic of the prosecutor’s office, then you can charge President Tokaev.Indeed, in the days of the January tragedy, he stated that 20 thousand terrorists attacked Almaty.And where are these terrorists?On June 5, Tokaev publicly admitted that there were no 20 thousand terrorists.Now the prosecutor’s office should institute criminal proceedings on this fact, isn’t it? ”- The oppositionist is asking the question.
On February 25, the Mamaia Zhanbolat was arrested for 15 days for participating in an unauthorized rally organized by Bulat Abilov, which took place on February 13 in memory of the victims of the bloody January.
The activist was supposed to leave the IVS on March 13.However, a couple of hours before the release he changed the status from a “witness with the right to defense” to the “suspect” and extended the arrest for another 48 hours.The next day, the Investigative Court arrested him for two months as a suspect under two articles of the Criminal Code - on the dissemination of knowingly false information and on insulting representatives of the authorities.
On June 12, the term of the detention of Mamaia’s jeanbolat ends in custody, its extension has not yet been reported.
