In January 2018, two young women were filmed kissing at a cinema in Almaty by a man, Eldar Mamedov who posted the video to Facebook. The faces of both women were fully identifiable and they were subsequently recognised on the streets and received death threats, calls for violence and other hate speech. On 30 July this year, the Supreme Court found in favour of the women, saying that everyone has the right to privacy, personal and family secrets, protection of one’s honour and dignity.
