Two women wearing niqabs in Kazakhstan's Atyrau region have been taken to police after a strange TikTok livestream in which they called themselves terrorists and claimed to know National Security Committee officers.
Police opened three administrative cases: petty hooliganism, spreading banned content, and wearing clothing that hides the face in public, ZHEST_KZ reports.
Why it matters: Kazakhstan bans face-covering clothing in public, and a livestream stunt that invokes terrorism gets treated as a public order case, not a joke.
