President Nazarbayev declared a state of emergency in Zhanaozen at the meeting. The confrontation in Zhanaozen came as police tried to clear protesters from the town’s main square after they started crashing equpment, attacking fellow citizens and setting nearby cars on fire. The workers had been protesting for higher wages for several months, but this was the most fierce outbreak of violence so far. Prosecutor General Askhat Daulbayev said that the mayor’s office, a hotel and police vehicles were set on fire during the “mass disturbances,” RIA Novosti reports.
