A man who appeared nude in a public place in Astana has been sentenced to 15 days of administrative arrest. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.
According to the press service of the capital's specialized inter-district court for administrative offenses, case materials show that citizen K. was in a public place in a nude state in the presence of strangers.
"Thus, he grossly violated public norms and public order, showed clear disrespect for those around him, and created conditions that undermine the honor and tranquility of citizens," the court statement said.
At the court hearing, the man admitted his guilt and said he regretted his actions.
Part 1 of Article 434 of the Code of Administrative Offenses provides for a fine of 20 monthly calculation indices or administrative arrest for a period of 5 to 10 days.
The court found the accused guilty under this article and imposed a penalty of 15 days of administrative arrest.
"When imposing the penalty, the court took into account the nature of the act, which has a negative impact on society, expresses disrespect for society and manifests itself in indecent behavior, as well as the goals of restoring social justice, educating the person who committed the offense to comply with legal requirements and respect for law and order, and preventing new offenses," the statement said.
The court ruling has not yet entered into legal force.
