By Saule Tasboulatova

As we've already reported on Feb 3 the defendant Gulmira AZBERGENOVA (ex-chief accountant of AktobeHauseConstraction LLP and BNB Construction LLP) went on hunger strike, demanding to change the measure of restraint from arrest to travel restrictions (see "Court resumes hearing of Ryskaliyev's OCG Case”).

On February 12 the lawyer Bakbergen Aitmambetov informed AkZhaik newspaper that Azbergenova continues hunger strike, and moreover, she went to dry hunger strike and for three days she hasn’t been drinking water. According to the lawyer there hasn’t been any reaction yet from the side of the pre-trial detention center administration (SIZO).
