Ilnur Kinisarov

Detained on 13 January 2021 and taken into custody on charges of preparation for hooliganism and possession of explosives. On 22 September 2021, he was placed under house arrest. On 10 January 2023, Kinisarov was sentenced to three years and two months' suspended sentence. On 12 April 2023, the court of appeal reduced the sentence by one month. Kinisarov, as well as other defendants in the case, considers the prosecution as part of a crackdown on eco-activists who participated in the protests against the destruction of the Kushtau shihan. In his final statement at the trial, he told how, together with other activists, he was beaten during the detention on 7 November 2020, which later gave an excuse to initiate a case.
