Additional information:

"All kinds of inspecting bodies have been involved with me. One policeman came with registration, then a co-executor. Then the traffic police kept watch on me near my house in Kokshetau. Allegedly there was an anonymous call that I was drunk driving. Last Friday, the traffic policemen issued four reports on administrative offences against me with a fine of 30 monthly notional units, and my car was towed. In short, they're pressuring me. I wrote a complaint to the prosecutor's office and the Department for Internal Security for abuse of office. Tomorrow, 1st February, I will file a lawsuit in court and again complain to the prosecutor's office. I have a real war going on with them. This is the path I chose and I have to follow it. So we're as good as we can be. The NSC is naturally behind all of this" - Aslan Kurmanbaev's post
