Kazakhstan: Mass strikes in Zhanaozen and Mangistau following the arrest of oil workers in Astana

Workers' protests in Kazakhstan in 2022.
Kazakhstan is again shaken by events related to mass rallies and strikes, which also began in the oil-producing western region of the country. 
 
The reason for the protests was the mass arrest on Tuesday of a delegation of dismissed oil workers who went to Astana (now Nur-Sultan) to seek the truth from officials of the Ministry of Energy.
