Zhanaozen massacre
The Zhanaozen massacre took place in Kazakhstan's western Mangystau Region over the weekend of 16–17 December 2011. At least 14 protestors were killed by police in the oil town of Zhanaozen as they clashed with police on the country's Independence Day, with unrest spreading to other towns in the oil-rich "oblys", or region. The massacre was a stark illustration of the country's poor human rights record under President Nursultan Nazarbayev.
