There was an attack on film crew of Internet-video portal “STAN TV”

8 april 2009
Two security officers of International Academy of Business have interfered to the activity of film crew of “STAN TV”. Journalist Olga Nastukova and operator Almas Nurdos have come to there. They have made review on conference “Development of Internet during financial crisis”. There was an arrangement of young people “No Censorship in Internet”. It was carried out during conference and outside of IAB. Security officers of International Academy of Business have tried to prevent this arrangement. They behaved themselves aggressively, pushed journalists, threatened and made an attempt of breaking of video camera; spoke rough (fact of insulting in relation to press was recorded by video camera).

Security officers of International Academy of Business did not say about their names and surnames.

Journalists could not go to conference. It was caused by actions of security officers. Film crew has made a telephone call to President of Academy Asylbek Kozhakhmetov. Security officers have let them go to there. They did not make an apology before journalist Olga Nastukova and operator Almas Nurdos. Chief of Security Office has threatened to film crew and said to them that their video camera will be liquidated.
