Hundreds of people have taken to the streets of the former Soviet republic Kazakhstan following days of sustained clashes between police and striking oil workers. Officials say at least 14 people have died since the unrest took hold late last week, but human rights groups claim the number could be many times higher. On Friday, police opened fire on oil workers participating in a six-month-old strike in the city of Zhanaozen, killing 13 people. Twenty-six-year-old Arman is a resident of Zhanaozen, where the second day of violence took place.

Arman, Zhanaozen resident: “Panic started, shooting. We were standing slightly to the side. Everybody started running. Everybody was shouting. We got frightened and started running, too. I had a bullet in my stomach. I got into intensive care. Then I had a surgery.”
