    Kazak Journalists Mull Pegasus Attack Despite numbers apparently targeted, no official investigation is forthcoming. When Kazak journalist Serikzhan Mauletbay discovered he was on the list of those targeted by Pegasus spyware, he was astonished. “I thought I might be bugged, but I could not even imagine being on the Pegasus list,” said Mauletbay, whose work has including covering protests and reporting on the most recent parliamentary elections. “I do not know how long they spied on me, why they did it, what were the results, or what they found,” he continued. “I only noticed that my phone lost its charge very quickly, but I could not tell for sure that there was surveillance.” Research recently released by the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) showed that countries around the world were using Pegasus, a spyware product made by the Israeli cyber intelligence company NSO Group. Serikzhan Mauletbay. Personal photo The company has insisted that their software was created to track terrorists and criminals, but in reality it has been used to spy on officials, journalists, activists and oligarchs. Those targeted received an SMS message with a link, which when followed allowed the device to be monitored. More recently, Pegasus has been updated to allow phones to be tracked simply by their number. A number of people in Kazakstan were among those targeted, according to the investigation, including President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Prime Minister Askar Mamin and Almaty religious leader Bakhytzhan Sagintayev. Another research article by OCCRP journalists concluded that the devices of a number of Kazak Journalists Mull Pegasus Attack Kazak public figures and entrepreneurs were also targeted, including former energy minister and opposition leader Mukhtar Ablyazov, now accused of embezzling bank funds, billionaire businessman Bulat Utemuratov and philanthropist Kenes Rakishev.

  • Parliamentary Elections 2021 Kazakhstan
    PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS 2021 KAZAKHSTAN Social media monitoring Final report (9 November 2020 - 9 January 2021) 8 February 2021 Bratislava Supported by INTRODUCTION Between 9 November 2020 and 9 January 2021, MEMO 98, a Slovak non-profit specialist media-monitoring organization, monitored social media in the run-up to the 10 January parliamentary elections in Kazakhstan. The monitoring included 48 different actors (political parties, politicians, media, and authorities) with accounts on Facebook and Instagram who produced a total of 29,342 posts on Facebook and 12,287 on Instagram. The posts generated as many 1,345,710 interactions on Facebook and 11,067,258 on Instagram. The main purpose of the monitoring was to determine the impact of social media on electoral integrity and the extent to which social media provide important information that voters need in their decision making.[1]While in general, for most people, television remains to be the primary source of information about politics, the growing relevance of social media inspired us to focus on Facebook and Instagram in our monitoring.[2]Such monitoring of social media was done for the first time in the context of the Kazakh elections. The monitoring also focused on how selected media report on candidates in their Facebook accounts and what topics and issues are discussed by political parties and selected media in the context of elections. As for the actual social media sample, we focused on official pages of political parties, individual politicians, media, and authorities on Facebook and Instagram. 1)2020 World Press Freedom Index from Reporters Without Borders ranks Kazakhstan as 157 (out of 180 countries), assessed as a country with ‘very serious situation’ (which is the worst category).

  • Nazarbayev Plans His Legacy
    Nazarbayev Plans His Legacy How will Kazakstan’s leader be remembered for his 30 years in power? Follow us on LinkedIn! Kasym-Zhomart Tokayev is Kazakstan’s president until 2020 elections. Photo: akorda.kz With the surprise resignation of President Nursultan Nazarbayev, senate chair Kassym- Zhomart Tokayev becomes interim leader until elections expected in 2020. Nazarbayev, the unchallenged head of Kazakhstan since 1989, retains a great deal of power – but who exactly will succeed him remains unclear. Andrei Grozin, a Russia-based expert on Central Asia, told IWPR that while Nazarbayev can claim relative prosperity and political stability as part of his legacy, corruption and Nazarbayev Plans His Legacy economic uncertainty also await the new leadership. IWPR: Why did Nazarbayev resign early without waiting for the end of his presidency? Andrei Grozin: I can only make some suggestions. First of all, [it could be] his health. He is turning 79 this year, but in the video of Nazarbayev’s address he doesn’t look like a man who is leaving because he is exhausted. It begs some other question. Nazarbayev, having all the information, is aware that if he holds this office to his last gasp, he would leave just like [former Uzbekistan leader] Karimov or [ex-Turkmen president] Saparmurat Niyazov. Therefore, Nazarbayev did not postpone this process, but led it. Moreover, Nazarbayev is not going to leave. In the same Andrey Grozin.

    OPEN DIALOG FOUNDATION Open Dialog Foundation, 11a Szucha Avenue, office 21, 00-580 Warsaw, Poland Tel. + (48) 507 739 025 www.odfoundation.eu Warszawa, 19.04.2013 Wyścig o spokój. Rozwój sytuacji politycznej w Kazachstanie Obserwowane na kazachstańskiej scenie politycznej przetasowania nie dają jednoznacznej odpowiedzi, jaki będzie ich polityczny wynik. Starzejący się prezydent Nursułtan Nazarbayev niezmiennie działa na rzecz zachowania swojej pozycji, wpływów rodziny i bliskiego kręgu oraz kontynuacji własnej linii politycznej po ew. ustąpieniu lub śmierci. Trudno jednak w ruchach na szczytach dopatrywać się żelaznej konsekwencji. O realizacji konkretnego planu sukcesji można było mówić w latach 2010-2011, kiedy Nazarbayev nie przyjął dożywotniego mandatu prezydenckiego i zadowolił się honorowym tytułem Przywódcy Narodu z licznymi przywilejami, oraz namaścił wpływowego zięcia, Timura Kulibayeva, na następnego przywódcę. Sytuacja zmieniła się radykalnie w konsekwencji tragicznych zajść w Żanaozen 16 grudnia 2011 r (krwawo stłumiony strajk robotniczy). Degradacja Kulibayeva z pozycji szefa państwowego funduszu Samruk-Kazyna i prezydenckiego faworyta wytworzyła próżnię, która do dziś nie została wypełniona. Kończący w br. 73 lata autokrata znalazł się w sytuacji zaostrzającej się rywalizacji frakcji w obozie władzy, narastających napięć społecznych oraz braku pewnego kandydata na następcę. Prezydent zmuszony jest elastycznie dostosowywać się do bieżącej sytuacji – czasem rozdaje karty, innym razem zaledwie chwyta się dostępnych możliwości. Frontalny atak na niezależne media i opozycję z jednej strony służy konsolidacji władzy w oczekiwaniu na sukcesję, z drugiej jest próbą uciszenia coraz wyraźniejszego niezadowolenia społecznego. Podobnie rzecz się ma z terroryzmem islamskim. Zagrożenie to stanowi wygodny pretekst do zwiększenia kontroli nad obywatelami. Z drugiej strony problem jest realny i wymaga zdecydowanych działań.
