Two family members targeted in an alleged attempted hit-and-run on the morning of 5th August 2015 (Human Rights Watch, 2015).

Kyarizov’s son said that during an interrogation before his trial, Kyarizov suffered a heart attack, which left him partially paralysed. While in detention, he developed a spinal hernia, atrophic gastritis, chronic bronchitis, and other diseases. Kyarizov was in desperate need of medical treatment, however when he and his family sought medical treatment on the 22nd January 2014,they were followed by ten Ministry of National Security cars, which surrounded them and forced them to stop. The family was badly beaten (Amnesty International,  2014). On the two occasions Kyarizov has sought to travel to receive medical support- to Switzerland in December 2014, Moscow in August 2015- they were prevented from boarding the plane (Human Rights Watch, 2015).

Kyarizov had attempted unsuccessfully to leave the country with his daughter and Serebryannik in August 2015 and December 2014. On both occasions, Turkmen officials told him that only he was under a travel ban but stamped the tickets of all three indicating that they had been prohibited from leaving (Human Rights Watch, 2015).

In 2015, he and his family were allowed to leave the country. For many years, Kyarizov and his family were forbidden to leave Turkmenistan (Human Rights Watch, 2015).

He lived in Moscow and later in  Prague (Centre 1, 2017).
