The blogger, Temirlan Ensebek, 29, manages the satirical Instagram account Qaznews24. Police arrested him on January 17, 2025, and searched his home. On January 18, an Almaty court approved his pretrial detention for two months on vague criminal charges of “inciting interethnic discord” in connection with a post he uploaded to the Qaznews24 Instagram account over a year ago.
