A Feminita founder, Zhanar Sekerbayeva, was detained after training in a gym. Three police officers escorted the activist to write an explanatory note, Orda.kz reports.
Sekerbayeva reportedly faces an administrative offense under Article 488, Part 7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (Organization of Rallies in Violation of The Established Procedure) for participating in a march in May 2024.
During that event, women protested in the streets following the sentencing of Kuandyk Bishimbayev.
The activist faces a fine of 50 MCI (almost 200 thousand tenge) or arrest for 15 days.
Orda is awaiting a comment from the Almaty Police Department.
Sekerbayeva was recently tried as the head of an unregistered organization.
She was found guilty and ordered to pay a fine of almost 400 thousand tenge. Gulzada Serzhan, co-founder of the movement, received the same sentence.
