In this photo released by the Kazakhstan Supreme Court Press Office’s Telegram channel on Friday, April 12, 2024, businessman Kuandyk Bishimbayev, the country’s former economy minister, sits in a defendants’ cage at his trial in Astana, Kazakhstan. Bishimbayev is on trial for killing his wife, Saltanat Nukenova, and the case has touched a nerve in the Central Asian country, with tens of thousands of people signing petitions calling for harsher penalties for domestic violence. On April 11, senators approved a bill toughening penalties for spousal abuse, and President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed the measure into law four days later.
