A high-profile domestic abuse trial in Kazakhstan has led to significant legal changes in the country. The trial of a former economy minister accused of killing his wife has sparked national outrage and calls for harsher penalties for domestic violence.
The trial, which was the first in Kazakhstan to be streamed online, revealed disturbing CCTV footage showing the defendant dragging his wife by her hair and physically assaulting her. The victim later died from brain trauma, leading to widespread condemnation.
