So we all know Sasha Boron Cohen plays "Borat" a reporter from Kazakhstan. Of couse his portrayal of a anti-semetic sexual predator makes real life Kazakhstan squirm a little. But it seems like their unwillingness to accept this satire (amongst other things) has led Condoleezza Rice to release a report. SCARY for them...we all know how C Rice gets down.
"The 2006 report, released in Washington on Tuesday by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, criticized the real Kazakhstan, a vast oil-producing Central Asian state, for increased restrictions on freedom of speech and other abuses."
"The State Department, which says Kazakhstan has no independent judiciary, also listed the murder last year of Kazakh opposition politician Altynbek Sarsenbaiuly, his bodyguard and driver as "unlawful deprivation of life."
"The report cited Borat's loss of his Kazakh webpage www.borat.kz in late 2005 alongside court cases and limits on free speech faced by the few domestic media critical of Kazakhstan's long-serving President Nursultan Nazarbayev."
"The report also listed military hazing, torture by police, unhealthy prison conditions, arbitrary arrests, restrictions on freedom of assembly, domestic violence against women, people trafficking and "severe limits on citizens' rights to change their government" as areas of concern."
