Opposition activists protest against the closure of opposition weekly magazine "Adam Bol" (which translates to "Be A Human") in Almaty January 24, 2015. According to local media, Adam Bol, which examined Kazakh authorities over human rights issues and corruption, was ordered to close by the Almaty court in December 2014. The reasons given for the closure by the mayor?s office was that the periodical violated laws that banned ?the propagation of forceful change in the country's constitutional structure, threatening its territorial integrity and security, as well as inciting ethnic, religious and social hatred.? The sign on the posters reads, "Protect Adam Bol!" REUTERS/Shamil Zhumatov (KAZAKHSTAN - Tags: POLITICS CIVIL UNREST MEDIA)
