1. (S) On December 16, three Kazakhstani detainees were
transfered to the custody of Kazakhstan. Poloff and Embassy
Astana DAO officer met with Ualikhan Saginkhanov of the MFA's
Consular Department at the Almaty international airport to
facilitate the transfer. Five individuals who declined to
introduce themselves, likely security officials, accompanied
Saginkhanov.


2. (S) One member of the Kazakhstani delegation filmed the
detainees leaving the aircraft. After the transfer, the
Kazakhstani authorities escorted the detainees to an airport
terminal where the detainees' parents were waiting. Upon
receiving a positive identification from the parents,
Saginkhanov called Poloff (who remained at the airplane) and
the aircraft was released.
