The French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has published a piece on the case of Temirlan Yensebek and Qaznews24, Orda.kz reports.
The article runs under the headline: “In Kazakhstan, a satirical blogger was muzzled to calm down a Russian Ogre.”
The magazine claims Kazakh authorities made an example of Yensebek to appease Moscow.
Charlie Hebdo describes Yensebek as part of a younger, politically active, and Western-educated generation in Kazakhstan, tolerated but often pressured or repressed.
The publication also mocks the very existence of a satirical outlet in the country, calling it “funny” that a page like Qaznews24 operates at all.
The outlet continues to run without Yensebek.
