The lawyer noted that Mahabat receives numerous letters of support from various corners of the world. Many of the authors of these letters have never met her but find it important to express their solidarity. All letters reach Tajibek kyzy, and she reads them carefully.
Since Mahabat cannot respond to each person individually, this letter became her response.
In the letter, she thanked everyone for their support, stating that in difficult moments of loneliness, it was the words of encouragement that served as her source of inspiration and strength.
Mahabat noted that the time spent in detention made her more open and taught her to adapt to challenging situations.
She emphasized that among the inmates and prison staff, there are not only bad people but also kind ones who supported her. According to her, the administration of the facility created conditions for her creative development, allowing her to engage in drawing, play the komuz, and sing.
She also initiated the updating of the prison library.
Mahabat emphasized that "having gone through this, I graduated from the hardest school with honors."
In conclusion, she expressed her gratitude to everyone: "I am grateful not only to my friends and like-minded individuals but also to those who are the reason for my being here. I am immensely thankful to you, mom, husband, brothers, and everyone who cares about me."
We remind you that Mahabat Tajibek kyzy was detained in January 2024 along with ten colleagues from Temirov Live. They were charged with organizing mass riots. The court sentenced Mahabat to six years in prison, while Azamat Ishenbekov received five years. Aika Beishikeeva was given three years of probation, and Aktilek Kaparov was also sentenced to three years of probation. The other seven defendants in the case were acquitted due to lack of evidence of a crime.
In 2026, the defense of Mahabat Tajibek kyzy filed a petition to reopen the case with new circumstances. The hearing of this petition is scheduled in the Supreme Court for March 10.
