Episode Details

In November 2023, the death of Saltanat Nukenova, wife of Kazakhstan's former Minister of Economy Kuandyk Bishimbayev, was initially reported as a tragic bathroom accident. Months later, recovered CCTV footage revealed a very different story, exposing hours of alleged domestic abuse and triggering one of the country's most closely watched murder trials.

In this episode of You Can't Unhear, we examine the the courtroom revelations, and how public outrage ultimately helped reshape Kazakhstan's domestic violence laws through what became known as Saltanat's Law.
