So who slanders?

20 june 2019

Some background. On June 5, 2019, Aisara Zhilkibayeva, judge of the Turksib district court of Almaty, acquitted the chairman of the Republican Public Association (RPO) "Coalition for the Protection of Prisoners' Rights" on libel.

 

As it was reported, the private prosecutor - Director of the branch of the Republican State Enterprise on the Right of Economic Use Enbek-Zhaugashty  Zh.Baimuratov  requested to bring the chairman of the RPO to criminal liability, saying that Gudauskas had slandered him by telling in an interview to the First Channel Eurasia that a pre-trial investigation was being conducted against Baimuratov on charges of grand embezzlement of state property.

 

On June 20, 2019, K. Gudauskas received an appeal of the director of the Republican State Enterprise on the Right of Economic Use Enbek-Zhaugashty  on this acquittal. Soon after the court authorized the detention of Z. Baimuratov in the framework of the criminal proceedings on charges of grand embezzlement of state property (money). We wonder if he will go on insisting that the information spread by Gudauskas was a slander?
