On February 5, author and host of the YouTube channel DINARION Dinara Yegeubayeva reported that her son Adi, a «citizen of the European Union», was attacked with a gun. The attack took place at around 10 PM, when Adi was walking from home to the shop. An unknown guy called out to him. According to Yegeubayeva, the guy was holding a gun in one hand, which he pointed towards her son. He ordered Adi to switch off his phone and put it away. «Apparently, the son’s self-preservation instinct kicked in: putting his hands down, he ran sharply. The guy didn’t chase him, he just shouted: „Don’t worry, it’s not real!“. Adi ran home and called me», — Yegeubayeva said. The journalist regards the incident as pressure and relates it to her professional and political activities.
