Supreme Court did not initiate supervisory proceeding by claim of staff of newspaper “Respublika”

30 april 2010
On April 29, 2010 Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan examined a claim of the staff of weekly “Respublika – Delovoye Obozrenie”. It was connected with court decision of Medeu District Court of Almaty about recovery of KZT 60000000 (USD41095) and dismissed supervisory proceeding.

Lawyer of the edition Sergey Utkin has made a commentary of this situation. He was unsatisfied by actions of state authority, concerning suspension of the newspaper “Respublika”. He could safely say that the newspaper will be published in any case.

The charges stemmed from article “Between two evils ‘tis not worth choosing”, published in the newspaper “Respublika – Delovoye Obozrenie” on March 06, 2009. The suit was brought against staff of the newspaper “Respublika – Delovoye Obozrenie” and its owner LLP “DPA”. Plaintiff has said that there was untruth information in two extracts of article. As a result of it there was a flow of deposits on KZT 6000000770 (KZT 410958).
