ASTANA (Reuters) - Kazakhstani lawmakers on Wednesday proposed that the country adopt a law restricting "foreign agents", an apparent move to emulate Russia in adopting a measure used to clamp down on government critics.
The People's Party, a left-wing opposition party seen as ultimately loyal to President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, proposed the legislation, with one of its parliamentary deputies saying that it would safeguard Kazakhstan's sovereignty.
