Conscientious objection upheld in Kazakhstan

And the ruling came from two military courts. Details here from JW.org, the Jehovah's Witnesses site.

"This is the first time a court in Kazakhstan or any Central Asian country has recognized unequivocally the right to refuse military service based on one’s religious beliefs. Brother Lev Gladyshev, a spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses in Kazakhstan, states: “We are grateful that the courts clearly recognized Daniil’s legal right to conscientious objection. This judgment sets a significant precedent for upholding and protecting fundamental human rights in Kazakhstan and Central Asia.”—1 Timothy 2:1, 2."
