The message was sent directly to the president's WhatsApp number
Askhat Alagozov, the president's press secretary, responded to questions and doubts that arose on social media regarding "how Azhiev's mother could contact the president on his personal WhatsApp number." He published a video of the woman's appeal and a screenshot of the phone from which the message was sent.
"In early January, the mother of Daniyal Azhiev appealed to President Sadyr Japarov with a request for her son's pardon," Alagozov noted.
