Police detaining protesters in Nur-Sultan on October 1
Kazakh police detained eight protesters, mostly women, demanding the release of relatives they say are being illegally held in China.
The October 1 protests were the latest in a series of demonstrations in Kazakhstan linked to the massive detention of Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and other ethnic groups in the neighboring Chinese province of Xinjiang.
