Dozens of people were detained in cities across Kazakhstan on June 23 in connection with an unsanctioned protest organized by the opposition Democratic Choice of Kazakhstan (DVK) movement, a project of fugitive banker Mukhtar Ablyazov. The demonstration was called to push the government to provide free education for all citizens. Earlier in the week, the Prosecutor-General's Office warned people not to participate in unsanctioned demonstrations.
