Outside the courthouse, Perizat Nurymova explained why the family of the late Sherzat Polat decided to stop working with Aitbek Amangeldy.

We dismissed Aitbek Amangeldy, but not legal representation. Personally, I’m dissatisfied with the work of Aitbek’s team — they didn’t give us a full explanation of the legal process,
