Dear Kazakhstanis!
We all witnessed the tragic January events in our country. Many of our compatriots took to peaceful protests throughout Kazakhstan with fair demands. Unfortunately, the peaceful protest was discredited by provocateurs, criminals and looters. Today we know about hundreds of dead and missing, about thousands of victims and detained by law enforcement agencies.
Obviously, we cannot turn this tragic page of our history until the truth about what happened is established, until the innocent victims of these events are helped. We clearly separate those who participated in peaceful rallies and expressed their protest within the framework of the law, from those who took advantage of this opportunity to commit illegal acts and crimes.
Finding such criminals is the duty of law enforcement agencies, and we are ready to assist them in this. But our job, as responsible citizens, is to help peaceful protesters and others who have suffered at the hands of criminals and illegal actions of law enforcement agencies.
