In Kazakhstan, the country’s famous rapper Saken Bitaev was shot dead during protests. According to his friend, journalist Daniyar Adilbekov on his Facebook page, in Alma-Ata, unknown persons tried to seize the car in which Bitaev was with his friends.
“The guys were gassed, and the looters started shooting after the leaving car. One bullet pierced Saken’s lung, and Saken is no longer with us, “Adilbekov wrote. At the same time, according to him, the relatives still cannot take the musician’s body, since “there are not enough police officers to record the death.” “The perpetrators were not found either, and I think they are unlikely to be found already,” Adilbekov added.
Bitaev performed hip-hop in the Kazakh language, was an operator and director, and also created the Salamalec sound project to promote hip-hop performers in Kazakhstan.
Let us remind you that protests in Kazakhstan began after the New Year due to the rise in prices for liquefied gas. The government resigned, while the CSTO Collective Security Council decided to send a collective peacekeeping force to Kazakhstan at the request of the president of the republic.
Law enforcement officials of Kazakhstan have detained 3,811 people in connection with the riots, the Kazakh Tengrinews agency reported on the Telegram channel data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. According to the ministry, 26 participants in the riots were eliminated, another 26 people were injured.
