Bizarre Actions of Judges Recorded on Video in Almaty
In a notable turn of events, a judge at the Specialized Interregional Criminal Court of Almaty found himself at the centre of a controversy in 2024. During a court session, a video recording showed the judge making a hand gesture, which was later reported by Liter.kz.
The court session in question was regarding a motion to change the pretrial measure for three defendants in a high-profile case. Midway through the proceedings, the judge made a gesture to indicate the inappropriateness of a participant attempting to leave the courtroom.
The gesture, made during a discussion focused on arrest, was intended by the judge to maintain order and ensure the proper conduct of the trial, according to the Almaty City Court. However, the gesture sparked complaints from some parties, leading to further scrutiny of the judge's behaviour.
It is important to note that this was not the first time the judge's conduct came under question. Previously, there were reports of an incident where the judge made an inappropriate gesture (sticking out his tongue) at a journalist during a court proceeding in Shymkent.
Despite the controversy, the court session concluded with a verdict of acquittal for the defendants, which was upheld on appeal. The court also denied the motion to detain the defendants.
Following the incident, the Judicial Ethics Commission publicly censured certain actions of the judge. However, there are no search results providing information about a judge in Almaty in 2024 at the Specialized Interregional Criminal Court who showed a tongue during a trial and was later censured by the ethics commission for certain actions during the court proceedings.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of judicial conduct and the need for transparency and accountability in the legal system. As the judiciary plays a crucial role in upholding justice, it is essential that judges maintain the highest standards of behaviour and integrity.
