#sometimes it's just like...#kazakhstan just arrested zhanbolat mamai again#he was supposed to get out of administrative detention and they extended his arrest as a pre-trial measure#(at least two months extra as opposed to 5 or 10 days)#and this is bad#but who's gonna talk about it?#rfe/rl ran an article talking about toqaev's stabs at reform#how he's going to decrease presidential powers#and the de-nazarbayevification of the country#after the massive massive protests that no non-colleague i know knew about or really cared about#and what's it all for?#like people are talking about how things will get better when there's less of an autocrat#but i've logged around a thousand legal sentences#for offenses ranging from holding up a blank sign#to liking a facebook page#it's extremism or inciting ethnic hatred don't you know#it's not the president that's the problem#and zhanbolat mamai is in jail again#and who am i to say any of this? i don't speak russian. i don't speak kazakh. my knowledge is limited. i'm a country away#i can't change anything nor do i have the lived experience and knowledge to really weigh in#about what's right or wrong for the country#but still it sucks to watch stuff happen#and yeah there seems to be a purge of nazarbayev's relatives#but whether or not that's progress is yet to be seen...#just read about dulat agadil escaping from prison in 2019 with a sinking feeling...he said he'd been unjustly arrested five times in a month#and. i know he eventually died in custody.#man can this all just...#and melissa lucio's still on death row in my home state for a murder no one committed#i guess at least feminata and kazfem were able to hold a women's day protest with others without repercussion (yet)
