Journalists in #Kazakhstan face escalating risks. Duman Mukhammedkarim was sentenced to 7 years on extremism charges after interviewing the leader of a banned party. His conviction, described in a report out today with Covington & Burling LLP and Vanja Skoric, is yet another illustration of Kazakhstan’s ongoing misuse of its extremism laws. CFJ’s #TrialWatch urges Kazakhstan to protect journalists, overturn Mukhammedkarim's conviction, and release him immediately. #JusticeForDuman
