Additional information:

Nurzhan Baymuldin, the journalist of the Express K newspaper, was covering a meeting of Nauryzbay Damu LLP shareholders. The lawyer of Nauryzbay Damu LLP Anara Zholdybayeva, when she found out that the journalist had arrived at the meeting, tried to snatch his cell phone out of the journalist's hands. Then, the administration of the association hurriedly left for the building of the rural akimat and through its representatives said that if the press did not leave, the meeting would not take place. The meeting did take place, but as soon as the agenda came to the question of payments to shareholders, the entrepreneurs demanded that the press leave the meeting. The journalist didn't want to heat up the situation and left the meeting.
