We understand that Mr Dzhakishev is expected to be released from prison imminently. We will continue to monitor his case. The UK is a strong supporter of human rights in Kazakhstan. We will continue to work alongside partners in raising the detention of political prisoners such as Mr Dzhakishev, as we did most recently as part of the December 2018 EU-Kazakhstan human rights dialogue.
