Serik Kuderbaev, the former head of the police department of the Almaty region, who was handcuffed and accused of not firing against the people of Taldykorgan during the January incident, is about to be tried. Lawyers of the major-general, who was recognized as a suspect in the January incident, sent a request to the court to stop the case, "Adyrna" national portal reported with a link to the portalExpress .K .
The statement of Serik Kudebaev, who left his post during the January incident, spread on social networks. The defense attorneys of the suspect sent a petition asking the court representatives to stop the case completely and return the major general to his post. According to his defenders, Kudebaev was forced to take such a step because he did not want to shoot civilians.
"Comrade Kudebaev was seriously injured during a rally in Taldykorgan. A stone hit him on the head and he was bleeding. However, he did not want to shoot at the people. That's why he made this decision. If he had given the order to shoot, at least 300 people would have died. We ask you to stop this criminal case. Because Kudebayev is a person who performed his duties honestly," said the lawyers of the former head of the PD.
It should be noted that Serik Kudebaev is found guilty under Article 370, Part 4, Clause 1 of the Criminal Code (Omission of duty that led to serious consequences). From 2020 to 2022, he worked as the head of the Almaty region police department.
