3 december 2014
On March 18, 2014 Judge of Medeu District Court (Almaty) Galym Bekbatyr has passed judgment upon suit of the retiree colonel Kuspabay Zhampeisov which was filed against newspaper "Tribuna – Sayasat Alany". Editorial staff of the newspaper "Tribuna – Sayasat Alany" should recover KZT2000000 (1USD=182.04) as compensation of moral damage in favour of plaintiff and KZT230000 (1USD= 182.04) as claim costs reimbursements; it is tantamount to bankruptcy and shut down.
It was connected with interview which Zhampeisov gave to free-lance correspondent of the newspaper. The correspondent used words "What on earth is this? We have such mentality in order to dominate, plunder Kazakhstan's people and relish the opportunity" from direct speech of the interviewed Zhampeisov in the title "Mentality of our state authority – is domination, plundering of Kazakhstan's people, carpe diem".
After publication of article Zhampeisov demanded to publish a disclaimer and revision of quotation. In October 2013, editorial staff has fulfilled the demand of Zhampeisov in full force and effect; it did not hurt him to apply to court. The Board of Appeals of Almaty City Court has left decision of the first instance standing. The last issue of newspaper was published in june, 2014. The representative of newspaper explained, that owner of newspaper had no such amount, accounts of SP "Alan Zhurt" were attached and it was impossible to execute court decision, even partially. The next trial will be held on December 04, 2014 at 15.00 p.m. in Interdistrict Specialized Administrative Court.
