Yesterday 17 doctors were jailed and 4 senior regional health officials were acquitted, Nursulu Tasmagambetova, sister of powerful mayor of financianal capital Almaty, and her husband among others. “They deserve death”, cried parents and relatives of infected and infected. The victims’ lawyers said they would appeal against the decision. 118 infected children are staying in the city, only 1 is on the treatment abroad, 14 mothers are infected as well and 9 babies already died.

Yes, I know, already 89 signs are gathered.Moreover, on Wensday in the evening approximately 40 people came to the court’s building and protested. One said that if N.T was acquitted, than the rest should be free, because she were the chief and imprisoned are just inferiors or pawns:-(Just pawns unfortunatelly…
