Kazakhstan Updates Tally of Protest Arrests to Nearly 4,000

Kazakhstan's interior minister has updated the tally of arrests during protests before and after the presidential election earlier this month to nearly 4,000 people, Fox News reports. 

Erlan Turgumbayev said in comments carried by local media Tuesday that out of the total, nearly 700 were sentenced to several days of arrest.

Sizeable protests took place in Kazakhstan on election day on June 9 and several days after. Police dispersed the demonstrations with force. Earlier official figures put the number of detentions at under 1,000.
