Factcheck.kz
- Factcheck.kz is an independent Kazakh media outlet that has been verifying public statements and information disseminated on the Internet since 2017. In the article "The Season of Silence: the elections in the Kurultai turned journalists into silent observers," the editorial staff spoke about the pressure on journalists and bloggers before the elections: criminal cases, arrests, account blocking and restrictions on professional activity. The publication is important because it shows how pressure on independent media leads to self-censorship and restricts freedom of speech.
