Dinara Dina Smailova, a Kazakh activist and founder of the non-profit organization 'NeMolchi.kz', was arrested in Budva, Montenegro, on April 14, 2025. Her arrest comes amid reports of threats from a Russian oligarch with connections to Montenegrin officials. The Montenegrin Supreme Court has denied Kazakhstan's request for her extradition. Following her arrest, a preliminary investigation hearing was held to determine the conditions of her detention, but the extradition hearing has yet to take place.
