“I didn’t have time to report yesterday that I had received a response from the prosecutor’s office about their submission of an act of prosecutorial supervision on the illegal prosecution of Saltanat Tashimova for organizing a failed rally, when I was informed that Saltanat had just been detained by people in civilian clothes, one of whom was in a police uniform, and in front of her children they shoved Saltanat into a civilian car and drove away in an unknown direction. Almaty Police Department (DP), is this what you are doing?” Adam wrote on his social media page.
KazTAG’s editorial team has already contacted the DP press service for comments.
Tashimova has long been known for her active civic position - she regularly advocates for improving the environmental situation in Almaty and is one of the principled opponents of spot and chaotic development of the city.
