Ilgiz Shamenov (Saryldyk uulu)

Ilgiz Shamenov is a civic activist and entrepreneur involved in the 'Kempir-Abad case,' which arose from activism to protect the Kempir-Abad reservoir. He was detained after recording a video appeal regarding arrests in Kyrgyzstan. Shamenov claims his detention is politically motivated and linked to issues surrounding Jetim-Too. During his detention, he reported pressure and mistreatment, including being placed in a cell with a mentally unstable inmate. His health deteriorated significantly due to delayed medical care, leading to his case being separated from the main trial for independent consideration due to his medical condition.
