Additional information:

On the evening of October 5, a pig’s head was delivered to the editorial office of the Orda.kz portal with a torn photo of the editor-in-chief, Gulnar Bazhkenova, in its mouth. «This is not the first time the media has faced this kind of provocation. After endless attempts to block our website, which we have already learned to deal with, the "well-wishers" moved on to the real world. The morning of October 4 began with threats written on the playground under the Orda office. The next day, the attackers vandalized the yard of the same playground, but already with mentions of our website, after which citizens came to the office dissatisfied with such advertising», — the media stated. Gulnar Bazhkenova filed a complaint with the police on the threats on October 4.
