Kongratbay Bekpolatov

Kongratbay Bekpolatov is a driver for the “Berdi-Trans” company who was detained in connection with the July 2022 Karakalpakstan unrest. He was prosecuted as part of the case involving 39 participants in the demonstrations against constitutional amendments affecting Karakalpakstan’s autonomy. Authorities classified the protests as mass disturbances, while critics argue the prosecutions are politically motivated because they punish protest participation.
