Dear Colleagues,

As far as you know, independent newspaper "Uralskaya Nedelya" and journalist Lukpan Akhmedyarov should recover KZT5000000 as moral damage compensation to the Former Head of Internal Policy of West Kazakhstan Oblast Tlekkabyl Imashev.

Readers and colleagues of journalist began an action, they collected and gave small coins KZT1,5 and 10 to the editorial office for execution of court decision.

We offer, please join to us. The money box is in the office of International Foundation for Protection of Freedom of Speech "Adil Soz". You can do your individual money box, collect small coins and send it to the editorial office of newspaper"Uralskaya Nedelya".

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.
