Hundreds arrested as Kazakhs protest against ‘rigged’ election
Little change expected despite Nursultan Nazarbayev stepping down after 30 years in power
Hundreds of people have been arrested in Kazakhstan while protesting against a stage-managed election that they say will deprive them of a political voice.
Voters have been going to the polls to elect a successor to Nursultan Nazarbayev, the 78-year-old who ruled for three decades before resigning this year.
