Zhanat Kuanyshevich Suleimenov (Kazakh: Жанат Қуанышұлы Сүлейменов, romanized: Janat Quanyşūly Süleimenov; 22 July 1962 – 10 January 2022) was a Kazakh military leader and politician. He served as Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs from 2017 to 2019.[2] He committed suicide on 10 January 2022, at the age of 59, after a criminal case was opened against him during the 2022 Kazakh protests.[3][4][5] He and many Kazakh politicians have been accused of treason during the unrest, including the former head of Kazakhstan's national security committee, Karim Masimov.[6]
