Additional information:

The Republican Commission investigating the causes of the accident at the Kazakhstanskaya mine gave a press conference in the Karaganda Region. «To our great indignation, no journalists were invited to this briefing. Only two media outlets were notified by the press service of the Karaganda Region Akimat, another three learnt by chance from other people. We never found out for whom in this case four main persons of the commission were gathered, having been pulled from work. It is impossible to reach the Kazakhstanskaya mine a few minutes before the start of the meeting. Thus, journalists were limited in their access to operative information», — said the journalist of Ratel.kz Anastasia Bagrova.
