The possibility of introducing a moratorium on capital punishment was discussed in the Almaty Justice Department. If a moratorium on capital punishment is introduced in the country, there will be a need for a special establishment to house prisoners sentenced to death. According to a judge of the collegium on criminal cases of Almaty City Court, Sholpan Kurmanbekova, it is too early to adopt a moratorium on capital punishment in Kazakhstan.
