Additional information:

Kirill Pavlov, a well-known blogger from Shymkent, reported the threat of reprisals and the refusal of the police to accept the statement. “There is a threat to my life. A person who had previously openly expressed dislike for my ethnicity writes that he will come to Shymkent, deal with me, cut me, stab me. I had to go to the police, but the application was not accepted, they asked to wait for someone. Just in case, I will post this video so that you know that if something happens to my family or me, blame Shyngys Sadenov for it,” Pavlov said in his Facebook video message.
