Kazakhstan will end counterterrorism operation restrictions in Almaty and Almaty and Jambyl regions from January 26, the country’s last areas that still have them, the National Security Committee said on Tuesday.
That means the restrictions will be lifted throughout the entire territory of Kazakhstan.
The three areas will still be rated as having the orange, or high, level of terrorism risk, the agency said. Terrorism threat in the Kazakh capital, Nir-Sultan, is also rated ah high.
Counterterrorism operation restrictions mean law enforcement agents are allowed to control the movement of vehicles and inspect them as they identify organizers and participants of unrest, the agency said.
