The editor-in-chief of "Ak Zhaiyk" is threatened with death. The police is in no hurry

The newspaper "Ak Zhaiyk" sent an official letter to Khamza Umbetkaliyev, the head of the Department of Internal Affairs of Atyrau. The journalists requested to identify an Internet user with the nickname " Satan "and to bring him to criminal responsibility under Article 115 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan"Threat". That user as well as  many others, individually or in groups periodically threaten the life and health of the newspaper's journalists, as well as the life and health the editor Azamat Maitanov and his family presonally.

The journalists called the Department of internal affairs for many times to ask if the Internet user that threatened them was found, but that gave no results in spite of the fact "Ak Zhaiyk" indicated the IP-address of the abuser in its application.

"Threats are very frequent," the newspaper editor says. – Many people want to retaliate against our newspaper. Among them are major ex-officials who are under arrest, and their henchmen, law enforcement officers, administrative officials, who are often hindered by the newspaper. Threats with calls for reprisals against "Ak Zhaiyk" also come from pro-Russian readers, commonly called "quilted jackets", i.e. people who dream of restoring the Soviet era. Periodically, authorities "advise" not to cover political processes, not to report any information about the disgraced Bergey Ryskaliyev, the ex-akim of the Atyrau region in 2006-2012, still popular among residents.
