I really hope that their work is effective and spreads. In Kazakhstan, we recently had a tragedy when our Olympic bronze medalist was killed when trying to stop thieves from stealing his car mirrors.

Rest in peace Denis Ten :(

I'm curious, was this crime very unusual even for Almaty, that someone gets killed by strangers over something like a car mirror, or is it the fact that it was Ten that caused such attention?

It's actually very unusual especially because it happened right in Almaty's downtown. Downtowns in Kazakhstan are usually considered safe.
