Details
The Nazarbayev Regime is one of the most corrupt and oppressive regimes in the world. While Nursultan Nazarbayev officially left the Presidency in 2019, many believe he is still in control. Journalists, political/civil opposition, and activists are frequently detained, oftentimes tortured, and executed. Ethnic minorities also face persecution as Kazakh nationalism begins to grow in the country.
