Kazakhstan citizen convicted in Uzbekistan of promoting extremism
Almaty. July 25. Kazakhstan Today - In Uzbekistan, the Kibray district court sentenced Kazakhstani Ermek Kosmagambetov to 5 years in prison for advocating extremism, Kazakhstan Today reports.
"Earlier this year, the security forces of a neighboring country accused Ermek in promoting extremism. In his Laptop they found movies of a religious nature. Kosmagambetov along with a girl, fellow traveler was detained at the border. A few days later the girl was released - in the court process she acted as a witness", the KTK TV-channel reported.
Yesterday Akmaral Shakirova with Ermek's relatives returned from Uzbekistan. According to them, prosecutors asked the accused to be punished more severely. However, the court appointed him to the minimum period. But the relatives of Kosmagambetov still intend to appeal the verdict: according to Ermek, he bought the ill-fated laptop from an unknown person and knew nothing about its contents. Meanwhile, family and friends of the guy are hoping that he will soon return to his homeland, even if the appeal will be rejected.
"We have some hope that he might fall under the amnesty. The amnesty is planned in late August, which means, in September they will begin releasing. And since he is a foreigner we have a great chance that he would be released, taking into account five years", Akmaral Shakirovasaid.
