Narymbaev biography of Ermek

The appeal collegium of the Almaty City Court began its work by replacing Ermack Narymbaev by three years in prison with a less strict form of restriction of freedom, outside the prison. In his decision, the court relied on a number of mitigating circumstances, including the state of health of the human rights activist, his marital status, the presence of minor children and elderly parents, as well as his good reputation.

The court also took into account the deadline that Yermek Narymbaev had already been in custody, and reduced the verdict to two years and five months of restriction of freedom. The ban on participating in the activities of public associations was upheld. According to the new sentence, certain restrictions will be imposed on Ermk Narymbaev regarding, among other things, residence and freedom of movement at a certain time of the day.

He was sentenced to three years in prison with the deprivation of the right to engage in any activities in public organizations in the next five years. The human rights activist denied the charges against him. The organization Front Line Defenders welcomes the decision of the Almaty City Court to change the initial sentence of Ermack Narymbaev to imprisonment. Nevertheless, the organization Front Line Defenders condemns the sentence of the human rights activist, since it is obviously directly related to the peaceful and legal work of Ermeck Narymbaev in defense of human rights in Kazakhstan.

The Almalinsky District Court of Almaty found Narymbaev guilty of “excitation of social, national, generic, racial, estate or religious growth” and sentenced him to three years in prison with subsequent deprivation of the right to engage in public associations for a period of five years due to the message that he placed on his Facebook page. Ermek Narymbayev is an independent human rights activist and blogger.

He also gives legal advice to people whom banks deliberately misled. In the year, the Civil Society of Kazakhstan recognized his merits, presenting the National Prize "Freedom". The human rights activist was sentenced to three years in prison under part 1 of the article of the Criminal Code.

He denies the charges against him and intends to appeal the verdict. The human rights activist was arrested on October 12 in Almaty after a search conducted by the police at his house. The reason for the arrest was the message posted on October 8 on October 8, in which he called into question the legitimacy of criminal prosecution under the article of the head of the Muslims of Kazakhstan Telibekov.

The case against Telibekov was opened in connection with the book he published, at the beginning of which Kazakhs are criticized in a provocative manner. The message of Yermk Narymbayev contained a quote from the book with a comment that although he understands that someone may seem insulting to someone, they should be considered satire. The health status of Ermk Narymbayev worsened.

At the last meeting of the court on January 22, the human rights activist was brought on a stretcher, and he spent all the time the court, lying on a bench. He began a hunger strike on January 18 in protest against judicial arbitrariness in Kazakhstan. And on January 6, he was taken from the courtroom from the courtroom due to a heart disorder. The organization Front Line Defenders sharply condemns the sentence to human rights activist Ermk Narymbaev, who, apparently, is an attempt to silence and prevent him from conducting peaceful and legitimate work in defense of human rights.

The organization Front Line Defenders is also concerned about the physical and psychological state of a human rights activist in prison. Ermek Narymbayev is an independent human rights activist.

He is actively engaged in the exposure of the financial fraud of some Kazakhstani banks and openly criticizes the country's authorities for the inability to protect human rights and the interests of the inhabitants of Kazakhstan. In addition, he provides legal assistance to people whom banks were deliberately misled. In the year, the Kazakh Civil Society noted it by the National Prize "Freedom".

Meanwhile, there was no rally. Ermk Narymbayev was detained without a warrant on August 20, when he left his office. He was forced to sign a certain document with which he did not have the opportunity to get acquainted.

He was informed that the detention was connected with his publication on the social network, where he announced his intention to protest against the last economic measures taken by the government. At the same time, at the time of the detention, Ermek Narymbaev did not participate in any protest and did not organize them.The organization Front Line Defenders is pleased to the release of Ermk Narymbaev, but expresses concern in connection with his illegal detention and arrest, which considers an attempt to make him silenced and stop his peaceful and legal work to defend human rights.

The prosecutor present here ordered him to sign a document that turned out to be a notification of unauthorized rallies. As soon as he signed the paper, the police detained him with the use of his strength. Despite the requirements of the human rights activist, law enforcement officers did not show him the warrant for arrest. Instead, they said that the detention was associated with his publication on the social network, where he announced his intention to protest against the last economic measures adopted by the government.

Then, Ermk Narymbaev, he was taken to an administrative court, the hearing in which his lawyer's complaints of a number of procedural violations in the case rejected the judge.

Now he is in a special reception for the administratively arrested department of the internal affairs of Almaty.
