A group of women in Astana, Kazakhstan say they were taken to police after turning up for a meeting with a deputy akim who never came out.
One of the women says they had booked the appointment in advance, but instead of a conversation they were taken away, footage shared by ZTB NEWS shows.
Why it matters: in Kazakhstan, a scheduled meeting with a local official that ends with police is exactly the kind of clip that fuels distrust in local government, and the footage is now doing the rounds on its own.
