President refuses to pardon Karim Massimov

A month ago, a special commission headed by the president reviewed Karim Massimov’s request for pardon and rejected it, deeming the verdict fair. But Massimov’s last hope is with the president. Kassim-Zhomat Tokav refused the pardon.

Let us remind you that Karim Massimov, who was arrested after the events of January and sentenced to 18 years in prison on charges of “treason”, “attempt to usurp power” and “abuse of power”, issued a request for pardon in March.
