Why does Azhigulova, who presents herself as a human rights activist, hate Kazakhstan and its people so much? Featured

Few people know, but the well-known in certain circles Kazakhstani “human rights activist” Khalida Azhigulova became famous abroad not because of her active civic position in the field of protecting the rights of children and women in our country, but as a person who with all her heart hates Kazakhstan, our people, mentality and lifestyle!

Having spent many years abroad, almost a quarter of her life, and having received an education twice at Kazakhstan’s expense – a master’s degree at Oxford and a PhD degree at Leicester, Azhigulova returned with a heavy heart, telling herself how far we are from liberal England and how bad and unsightly our reality is.

Khalida spent all her academic time surrounded by professors and students in her imaginary ideal world, far from reality, a very selective reality, I must say. Having returned, she began to teach all of us, "dense Kazakhstanis", however, she either forgot or does not want to mention the discrimination and inequality that have flourished for centuries in foggy Albion. 

After all, Britain itself is at the bottom of the list of European countries when it comes to gender equality, and wage discrimination is rampant there - in the financial sector alone, men are paid 30% more than women.

Nor does she mention the paedophile epidemic in the United Kingdom, where, according to various sources, up to 800,000 paedophiles known to the police live. Nor does she talk about the horrors of the child sexual exploitation scandal in Rotherham, where a group of people raped hundreds of children over the course of decades with the full connivance of local authorities. What can we say when the son of the venerable Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Andrew, was accused by the press around the world of similar atrocities.

Didn’t she know about it or are the facts mentioned completely insignificant? No, of course not, she knows everything perfectly well and remembers everything perfectly well, it would just be reckless to bite the hand that regularly gives offerings for the "right" activity and the "right" posts on the Internet.  

Here is the Facebook post in question, in which Khalida thanks the British Council for the grant that allowed her to travel with her daughter to

England in the summer of 2024, where it refers to the UK’s best practice in the world.

Ask yourself, do we need the UK’s experience in protecting children, after the official police and public inquiry found that more than 1,400 children were raped in the aforementioned Rotherham between 1997 and 2013, as reported by the authoritative world publication BBC ( https://www.bbc.com/russian/uk/2014/08/140826_rotherham_child_abuse_report ). Many victims there were forced to remain silent for years under threat of murder.

Here is Khalida’s post against the background of the LGBT rainbow flag, with the inscription that Santander Bank supports the gay pride week in London. In fact, this indicates that for the grants provided to Azhigulova, she is required not only to thank the British Council, but also to support the LGBT movement in Kazakhstan.

It turns out that for complete Kazakhstani happiness, according to Azhigulova’s recipe, we need to invite high-ranking British pedophiles to exchange experiences under the auspices of some kind of gay parade. 

However, the greatest outrage is caused by the treacherous and vile behavior of Azhigulova in the British Parliament on June 27, 2023 (full video of this session - https://parliamentlive.tv/event/index/b3121f0b-3240-4165-8141-5707fb546bef ). In Kazakhstan, it passed little by, but for many friends of our state in the British establishment it was an unpleasant surprise.

Apparently, having not received, in her opinion, a proper assessment of her “efforts” in Kazakhstan itself, as is known, she failed in her attempts to be elected to the Majilis in March 2023, and also a little later in early June of the same year to become the Commissioner for Children’s Rights, where a more worthy candidate in the person of Dinara Zakieva was objectively chosen, Azhigulova decided to vent all the anger for her unfulfilled ambitions on her native country within the walls of the House of Commons. The speed of the decision to participate in the “hostile sabbath” is evidenced by the fact that there was not even enough time to obtain a visa, and Khalida had to participate in it online from Almaty. Her personal “resentment” towards the country is very eloquently expressed by the announcement on Instagram.

That is, this “patriot” decided to compensate for her personal failures and the general public’s lack of interest in “saving the nation in the Azhigul style” with a one-and-a-half-hour denunciation of her native state, accusing it of totalitarianism, lack of freedom of speech, rights and freedoms of citizens, while giving her “hints” on how to more painfully “punish” Kazakhstan for not living up to British ideals of democracy.

Without going into details, we consider it necessary to note two of the most memorable episodes. First, when asked by British MPs what to do to improve the human rights situation in Central Asia, Khalida said with a straight face that it was absolutely necessary and essential for the British government to include clauses on human rights in all trade and investment deals with Kazakhstan. In other words, Azhigulova proposed introducing economic sanctions against our state for “bad behavior,” and this is said by a person who studied in England twice at Kazakhstan’s expense! 

Secondly, and this is quite serious, our pseudo-expert on children’s rights, Azhigulova, "borrowed" into a completely foreign area, namely Kazakh-Chinese relations, expressing her opinion to foreign deputies that Kazakhstan is pursuing too independent a policy with regard to the Uyghur issue in China and is indulging its big neighbor in everything, despite the admonitions of the West. 

Without being even a bit of an orientalist, or even an expert in international relations, Azhigulova gives an assessment of Kazakhstan’s foreign policy in the legislative body of a foreign and distant country, and even on the highly sensitive issue of interethnic relations in a neighboring state. Truly, "every cook should govern the state"!

As a result, during the hearings, the next speaker, a representative of the well-known human rights organization Amnesty International M. Vaicherdin, noting the absurdity of Khalida’s speech, said that "the human rights situation in Kazakhstan is generally better than in other Central Asian republics, but Azhigulova’s overly impulsive speech gives a subjective impression of the opposite." And according to other independent experts, after watching these hearings, one gets the impression that Azhigulova "hates Kazakhstan with all her heart."

Perhaps, the respected Mrs. Azhigulova needs to be told that it is time to stop causing harm and start doing real useful work for the benefit of all Kazakhstanis, since our state, at the expense of all taxpayers, has spent enormous amounts of money on her education twice.
