Who is Rakhat Aliyev?

Rakhat Aliyev is wanted under an Interpol warrant for multiple counts of murder, kidnapping, extortion and other crimes. He hid in Malta, Cyprus and the Palestinian Territories. But the gangster tycoon, former head of the Kazakh secret service and twice-former Kazakh Ambassador to Austria, has friends who have been helping him avoid extradition. Aliyev must be stopped.

Aliyev's former associates say he got his thrills from torturing people. He rendered them helpless, bound them in shackles, stretched them on a rack, and crucified one with rope and hooks.

They say he enjoyed whipping, applying electric shocks, breaking bones, and inflicting psychological torture on those who displeased him.

The summary below is taken from a more extensive site about this man, RakhatAliyev.com.

Кому нужны фильмы ужасов, когда реальная жизнь полна ими?

Кому нужны фильмы ужасов, когда реальная жизнь полна ими? Возьмём для примера историю Анастасиии Новиковой - молодой матери, убитой человеком, которого она когда-то любила и от которого родила дочку.
Anastasiya Novikova and her beloved little girl, Luiza, shortly before Luiza was kidnapped from her mother. This is the last known photo of Anastasiya before she was killed in June 2004.
Анастасия Новикова и дочь Луиза, незадолго до их насильственной разлуки. Это последняя известная фотография Анастасии перед её убийством в июне 2004 г.
Она знала Рахата Алиева, как успешного бизнесмена и видного дипломата. На самом же деле, Алиев злоупотреблял своим высоким положением, став преступником и убийцей в международном розыске .

После того как в 2014 году Алиев сдался австрийским властям по обвинению в убийстве и других преступлениях, те из нас, кого трагическая история Анастасии не оставила равнодушной, организовали кампанию протеста #JusticeForNovikova, чтобы привлечь виновных к правосудию.

Из-за особой жестокости Алиева и его сообщников, которые всё ещё остаются на свободе, мы не можем выступать открыто. Но мы пользуемся поддержкой общественности, а также членов семьи Анастасии, в том числе и её отца.

Наша сила в международной солидарности. Мы приглашаем всех присоединиться к нашему голосу и требовать правосудия – ради Анастасии Новиковой, ради ее маленькой дочери, и ради всех жертв Рахата Алиева и его преступной группировки.



Меня зовут Анастасия Новикова.

Я выросла в Центральной Азии. Как все молодые люди, я мечтала о свободе и счастье. Я никогда не думала, что моя жизнь скоро закончится в унижениях, пытках и насильственной смерти. Виновным удалось избежать правосудия. Но мои друзья и заступники не остановятся, пока виновные не будут наказаны.

Вот краткая история моей жизни.

Я полюбила Рахатa Алиевa. Он обещал, что покажет мне мир. Он говорил, что я стану звездой. Я забеременела от него и была этому очень рада. Но человек, которого я любила и считала, что хорошо его знаю, принудил меня выйти замуж за своего родственника, чтобы я всегда была под контролем его семьи. Затем он увез меня в Бейрут и там посадил меня под замoк. Я оказалась запертой в квартире его сообщника. Я стала заложницей под присмотром его головорезов.

У меня оставалась только одна радость в жизни – моя любимая дочка. Но и ее он тоже у меня забрал. Все мои мучения до этого были ничем по сравнению с болью, которую я испытала, когда моего ребенка вырвали из моих рук. Я умоляла их дать повидаться с моей девочкой – обнять ее хоть на минутку – и они обещали, что приведут дочку ко мне. Но я никогда её больше не видела.

Многие месяцы Рахат Алиев и его приспешники держали меня в плену. Меня избивали, кололи наркотиками, насиловали, и пытали. Моё тело было изуродовано пытками, ссадинами от побоев, ожогами от их сигарет, и следами иглы, когда меня кололи наркотиками.

Они прервали мои страдания 19 июня 2004 года.

Соседи нашли мое тело на шипах ограды тремя этажами ниже балкона квартиры, которая была моей тюрьмой.

Это было десять лет назад. Моё имя, как и имена других жертв замученных моими палачами, было забыто.

Ради меня, моей дочери, ради всех пострадавших от рук моих убийц, привлеките их к правосудию!

Anastasiya’s daughter united with grandmother

UNITED: Anastasiya’s mother Tatiana and daughter Luiza, March 2008. (Credit: family member)

 Rakhat Aliyev is alive and well, and living in Kazakhstan. She is now 11 years old.
A lot of people have been asking us, “What happened to little Luiza?”
We want to give Luiza her privacy, and respect the privacy of the loving family that is raising her. However, we also want to provide proof that Luiza was united with her maternal grandmother – Anastasiya’s mother, Tatyana Medvedeva.
Mrs Medvedeva provided us with a photo of her with Luiza taken in early 2008, when Anastasiya’s remains were re-buried at a Christian funeral outside Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Here is the photo, appearing in public for the first time.
Anastasiya’s mother, Mrs Medvedeva, is holding her granddaughter Luiza, who was 4-1/2 at the time.
Mrs Medvedeva gave us permission to make the photo public.
We are told by other sources that DNA tests prove that Luiza is indeed the daughter of Anastasiya Novikova and Rakhat Aliyev.
Rakhat Aliyev has never acknowledged his youngest daughter, who was born in Beirut in the summer of 2003.
To recap the story
Aliyev had had Anastasiya sent to Beirut to live in captivity so that nobody would know about Aliyev’s illicit relationship and out-of-wedlock daughter. He coerced Anastasiya to marry his cousin, Daniyar Esten.
Both lived in Beirut in an apartment owned by Aliyev’s brother-in-law, Issam Hourani, and Issam’s brother Devincci Hourani. The Houranis and Esten allegedly participated in the forced captivity and brutalization of Anastasiya in Beirut, and in the coverup that followed Anastasiya’s violent death on June 19, 2004.
After helping dispose of Anastasiya’s body in a secret grave in southern Kazakhstan, Esten sent baby Luiza to live with his parents, also in Kazakhstan. Apparently he had them believe that he was Luiza’s father.
Esten was killed in a traffic incident in Austria the following year.
The Estens later learned the truth about Luiza when Anastasiya’s broken remains were discovered in their secret grave and exhumed in the summer of 2007.
After that discovery, Anastasiya’s mother, Mrs Mevdedeva, was united with her granddaughter for the first time and met the surviving Esten family.

People of Amsterdam demand #JusticeForNovikova



#JusticeForNovikova campaign spreads to Amsterdam


#JusticeForNovikova stickers first appeared in London, and now in Amsterdam. This one was seen on the Malta Air departure gate at Schiphol Airport on July 9.
The #JusticeForNovikova campaign spreads to Amsterdam today. Stickers promoting the effort appeared at the Malta Air departure gate at Schiphol Airport.
Anastasiya Novikova’s accused killer,Rakhat Aliyev, lived for several years in Malta while hiding from an international arrest warrant for the abductions andmurders of two Nurbank executives.
The #JusticeForNovikova stickers appeared at Gate B-31, when a Malta Air flight to Valletta was boarding on the morning of July 9.
One sticker was photographed on a sheet of paper attached to the Malta Air flight screen.
Another was photographed on a glass window overlooking the Malta Air jet, with its distinctive red tail and Maltese Cross.
Haunting Aliyev’s old sanctuary: A #Justice sticker is on the terminal glass overlooking the Malta Air jet at Schiphol Airport.
A friend of the campaign sent the pictures to the Justice For Novikova Facebook page. We are reprinting them here.
Designs for #JusticeForNovikova stickers, posters and banners can be downloaded from this site for anyone to use.
If anyone has more photos of protests or sticker campaigns anywhere in the world, please send copies for us to post, by messaging us on our Facebook page. We guarantee your anonymity.

Murder site in pictures


Police photos show where Anastasiya was killed





The balcony from where Anastasiya fell to her death. The apartment was owned by Rakhat Aliyev’s brother-in-law, Issam Hourani, and Issam’s brother, Devincci Hourani. Photo is from Lebanese police investigators.
Lebanese police photos show the the Beirut apartment building where Rakhat Aliyev victim Anastasiya Novikova was held captive and killed in 2004.
#JusticeForNovikova has obtained of the Lebanese police and medical examiners’ reports, which include graphic photos. Many of the photos are too horrible to show in public.
Thanks to some helpers who found us through our social media campaign, we have the reports, in the original Arabic and with English translations.
The police photos show where Anastasiya was killed: at the Beirut apartment owned by Rakhat Aliyev‘s brother-in-law,Issam Hourani, and Issam’s brother, Devincci Hourani. Both Houranis have been close business partners of Aliyev and figure prominently in Anastasiya’s captivity, abuse, and death, and the cover-up that followed.
The images on this page contain comments and official stamps in Arabic, from Lebanese authorities.
The Hourani brothers also own a flat at London’s exclusive Lowndes Square,where #JusticeForNovikova supporters held a protest on June 19, the 10th anniversary of Anastasiya’s murder.
We expect to provide more pictures and some of the translations later.

Coward’s way out


Aliyev reportedly on suicide watch

Once a powerful major general in his country’s former KGB, Rakhat Aliyevdoesn’t seem to be doing very well in the benign captivity of an Austrian prison.
Austrian media report that Josefstadt prison officials have put Aliyev on suicide watch.
Fellow inmates are abusing him.
Correspondence between his lawyer and prison authorities indicates that Aliyev, the extortionist, is now being extorted behind bars.
Other prisoners are even stealing Rakhat Aliyev’s underwear.
Or at least his t-shirt and belt.
To protect him from further prisoner abuse, Josefstadt officials have transferred Aliyev into a more secure area. However, he must continue to share a cell with at least one other prisoner, for fear that, if left in solitary confinement, he will kill himself.

Austria must file more murder charges



Public pressure could convince Austria to file more murder charges



Visit www.ProsecuteAliyev.com for more information about Rakhat Aliyev and his criminal organization.
More public pressure could convince Austria to file more murder charges against Rakhat Aliyev.
Currently in a Vienna jail awaiting trial for two murders, among other crimes, that took place in Kazakhstan, Aliyev may face more murder charges – meaning that there’s a greater chance for justice for Anastasiya Novikova.
Austrian news reports say today that Aliyev could be indicted for more charges of murder.
The report first appeared in Der Falter news magazine and then in The Local, an English-language Austrian news outlet.
According to The Local, the “murderer ambassador” is “currently in a Viennese prison, awaiting trial for two – or more – murders.”
The report comes as Aliyev’s jailers moved him into a more secure cell after the accused murderer received threats, apparently from other inmates. Aliyev is not in solitary confinement out of concern that he may attempt to commit suicide.
According to Aliyev’s current lawyer, Manfred Ainedter, other prisoners attempted to extort money from the Kazakh gangster in order for him to be left alone, and that Aliyev has been subjected to “daily” threats of assault and intimidation.
Aliyev’s victims are watching Austrian actions closely. Aliyev’s earlier defense lawyer, Wolfgang Brandstetter, is now Austria’s Minister of Justice.
