The National Security Committee, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Almaty Region Prosecutor's Office prevented the extremists from implementing this plan.
One prisoner was preparing the attack, while the others were promoting terrorism and recruiting new supporters.
Their accomplice, who was on probation control, was detained in Almaty.
During searches at penal institutions, smartphones, bladed weapons, and other material evidence were seized, The National Security Committee reported.
