It is necessary to tighten the punishment for defamation in Kazakhstan. The head of the party, the first president of the republic, Nursultan Nazarbayev, said this at an expanded meeting of the Nur Otan political council.

"Nobody gave the right to swear and insult indiscriminately, to bring to an absurdity the things that are being done in our country" he emphasized.

According to the current legislation, for the dissemination of knowingly false information, discrediting the honor and dignity of another person or undermining his reputation, Kazakhstanis face three years in prison.
