Kazakh Journalist and Political Asylum Seeker Arrested in Kyiv
Kazakh journalist Zhanara Akhmet has been detained in Kyiv.
According to her lawyer Vladislav Hryschenko, the journalist and public figure was detained because she is on Interpol’s international wanted list at the request of the Kakh authorities.
Zhanara Akhmet and her 9-year-old son have lived in Kyiv for less than a year and have applied for political asylum.
On Monday, October 23, the court will have to decide whether or not to arrest her for 40 days under the the appropriate procedure.
The journalist Zhanara Akhmet was forced to flee to Ukraine from Kazakhstan in March 2017. Back in her homeland, several cases were opened against her, which Zhanara believes to be politically motivated.
