The employee of the department, operational officer called Samat started interrogating me on the issue of Raimbaev and started to put pressure... But I was released from prison on June 4. I came here hoping that now "Nur Otan" will help me. I have no place to go and there is nobody whom I can address. I am an orphan. My mother died. My father lives with another family. Therefore I will make suicide. I am disappointed in life, I don't want to live any moew" - said Erlan Bektibaev.
