Youth activists rally in Kazakhstan on Constitution Day

AKIPRESS.COM - Members of the Oyan Qazaqstan (Wake Up Kazakhstan) movement and others rallied in Almaty, Nursultan, and Shymkent on August 30, the RFE/RL reported.
They called for changes in Kazakhstan, particularly constitutional reforms.
There have been a number of small demonstrations, often involving only one person, in Kazakhstan since former President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who led Kazakhstan since independence, announced he was resigning at the end of March. And it is mostly young people who are organizing and participating in these public actions.
RFE/RL's Media-Relations Manager Muhammad Tahir moderated a discussion on these demonstrations, the youth groups that are playing such a central role in them, and where this could be going.
