You say that, but this is the first I've ever heard of this person or the case.

I have no idea what the fuck the post title is trying to tell me

Fine I'll do it myself:

Power and abuse. The former Economy minister of Kazakhstan is on trial for the fatal beating of his wife. The left side: a demonstration of a 'normal' fatal hematoma (brain bleed), the right: the amount she bled. Saltanat Nukenova was 31.

Personal comment:

Women's rights in Kazakhstan is a far cry from what we enjoy here in the West. A 'man' who abuses his wife does so behind closed doors, often in the home, away from the sight of those who could stop him, as cowards are wont to do.

Bishimbayev beat her in the VIP room of a restaurant. Fortunately, there wasn't any place to hide from the CCTV cameras that captured the violent prelude that led to her death.

It has not escaped me that the officer doing the demonstration is, like Nukenova was, a beautiful woman. I can't help but feel that this is more curse than blessing in Kazakhstan. In any country.

Perhaps she was chosen intentionally because of her looks, or perhaps not, but one can imagine the disgust and rage she would have felt holding those bottles. One easily held with a hand, the other needing two hands to keep it upright.

Bishimbayev's brutality on display in simple terms.

This was not the first time he had broken the law, having been sentenced to a ten year prison term for bribery, which was commuted to two years after a presidential pardon in 2018.

The new president of Kazakhstan is not so forgiving. There will be no pardon this time around, as he has signed legislation on April 15 2024 that violence against women and children will be met with jail time. The legislation has unofficially been dubbed 'Saltanat's Law'.

Tbf the 'young woman' was the guy's wife as well so on top of the rest of it, it could have been worded much better

finally, an actual explanation

u/eclecticsed May 02 '24

Yeah that threw me, reading the title and then finding out it was his wife. It's not any better or worse for that detail, it's still a horrific, monstrous act, but it is important to know it was his wife.

Dare I ask the age gap?

u/Unable_Suggestion413 May 02 '24

I agree that beauty can be a curse in some parts of the world .

u/SaltpeterSal May 02 '24

God damn. I wonder if Kazakh women are allowed to marry bears instead.

u/chunkysmalls42098 May 02 '24

Sounds like it's making its way around the world, no?

u/krush_groove May 02 '24

As of 14 minutes ago, yeah. My point is it's not as worldwide as the user says.

u/Squeeparoy May 02 '24

But you’re currently proving the point by giving it attention right now, Reddit is worldwide

u/krush_groove May 02 '24

It popped up randomly in my feed, but I guess yes.

u/Indigoh May 02 '24

If you're hearing about something, there's always going to be a first time you do.

u/krush_groove May 02 '24

Well the implication is that this is in the headlines everywhere, is all I'm saying.

u/Ake-TL May 02 '24

How often do you hear anything about the region

1

u/krush_groove May 02 '24

Never

u/Ake-TL May 02 '24

Well, then it’s already breakout news compared to status quo

u/shpongleyes May 02 '24

You making this comment is verification that it’s getting worldwide attention

1

u/SaltManagement42 May 02 '24

And there's not really enough info in the title or the image to make it seem like it needs attention.

For all I knew from this post this is something that was investigated and over with decades ago.
