The supervisory authority launched an investigation. They reported that an unknown man with a gun ran towards the car where the victim and his wife were, shot the man and fled.
“The man is currently in the hospital in serious condition,” the post says.
It should be noted that the victim and his wife have lived in Ukraine since 2014 as refugees.
Sadykov had his own YouTube channel, where he actively criticized the Kazakh authorities. In 2023, he was placed on the wanted list.
Sadykov’s wife claimed that they had received threats and linked the assassination attempt to her husband’s opposition activities.
