Irina Karamushkina, while in the women's colony No. 2, appealed to President Sadyr Japarov for clemency, as reported by her lawyer Askar Alymkulov to the editorial office of Kaktus.media.

According to him, the petition was sent through the colony's administration in December 2025.

In her application, Karamushkina noted that the courts did not take into account important testimonies from the victims, who claimed her innocence in the hostage-taking, and also ignored witness statements. She also emphasized that the house subject to confiscation was purchased with legal funds.

Alymkulov added that Karamushkina is requesting early release, citing her status as the only woman accused in this case. In her appeal, she mentioned her retirement age and her desire to spend more time with her family, including her grandchildren and elderly mother.

Karamushkina was transferred to the women's colony in November 2025 after being found guilty in a case related to the events in Koi-Tash and voter bribery during the elections, receiving an eight-year prison sentence.

Throughout several convocations, she held the position of deputy of the Jogorku Kenesh from the SDPK party.
