On 12 January, authorities arrested Raigul Sadyrbaeva, a human rights defender who had been monitoring the protests in the city of Semey, and falsely charged her with participating in a mass riot. She was held incommunicado for two weeks, ill-treated, subjected to a mock execution, threatened with rape and denied medical care to pressure her into incriminating herself. She remained in pretrial detention until 14 March, when she was moved to house arrest. She was released in September, but banned from travelling; her prosecution was continuing at the end of the year. In October, the authorities reportedly refused to investigate her torture allegations, citing lack of evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
