They wanted to change the constitutional system by force: a group of extremists was arrested in western Kazakhstan. Employees of the National Security Committee of Kazakhstan arrested 10 people in Atyrau suspected of trying to forcefully change the constitutional order. The detainees are also suspected of promoting terrorism and inciting religious hatred. It was reported that during the searches the security forces found weapons, drugs and religious literature. In addition, three underground education centers where children and teenagers studied were closed. An inspection by the National Security Committee shows that some of the detainees were previously convicted of terrorism and other crimes.
