The organization carried a scanning princess of over 80 verified videos recorded between January 4 and 6, 2022 related to the excessive use of force especially in Almaty, Kazakhstan’s largest city. After this process, they found out how serious the matter was.

They highlighted how important it was to carry out an effective investigation where no partial party is involved and hence, the reports claimed, that they were seeking to form a new committee for the matter to be resolved at the earliest.
