On December 06, 2012 Cassation Board of West Kazakhstan Oblast Court has left judgment standing of court № 2 of Uralsk, in part of recovery of KZT5000000 (1USD=150.61) as moral damage compensation; it was awarded by suit of the Former Head of Department of Internal Policy Tlekkabyl Imashev, who filed a suit against journalist L. Akhmedyarov and founder of the newspaper "Uralskaya Nedelya", LLP "Journalistkaya Initsiativa". Cassation Board of West Kazakhstan Oblast Court has dismissed the demand on publication of apology to Imashev.
The charges originated from article “Brother, friend and cronyism” by L. Akhmedyarov which was published in the newspaper “Uralskaya Nedelya” on February 02, 2012. Akhmedyarov disclosed the family ties in oblast authority. Tlekkabyl Imashev was unsatisfied by words “Marriages are made in heaven, but the benefit is earth-bound from them. It confirmed his career growth of Tlekkabyl Imashev (in the past, he had been a teacher of physical culture; now, Imashev is a Head of Oblast Department of Internal Policy (West Kazakhstan Oblast)). Except for, his personal quality, he had ties of relationship with Imangali Tasmagambetov and Former Prime Minister of Kazakhstan”.
Tlekkabyl Imashev did not deny his relative ties, but he thought that their publication belittled his personal services. Tlekkabyl Imashev was abused by image to the material: "Reproduction of his image in the pack of playing cards abused him as state official, as citizen of the Republic of Kazakhhstan; they had a purpose to dicredit his reputation of the honest public servant and decent citizen". He demanded recovery of KZT10000000 (1USD=150.61) as moral damage compensation.
Editorial staff of the newspaper “Uralskaya Nedelya” has expressed its disagreement with judgment that has gone before. They proposed to their readers to participate in satisfaction of judgment (in particular, they should collect KZT5000000 by small denominations KZT1,5 and 10).
