Additional information:

Freelance journalist Daniyar Moldabekov was detained in Almaty together with participants of a rally for the release of political prisoners, which was not authorized by the city authorities. «I went to the rally because the topic of the January events is the main one for me, and I wanted to record interviews with people. I’ve been freelancing for a long time, I didn’t have an editorial assignment. But this is an extra confirmation that the law "On Peaceful Assemblies" is de facto the same», — Moldabekov wrote. The journalist was released at the gate of the police department after Daniyar’s colleagues confirmed that he was a journalist.
