The information on this case comes from an unofficial source which reports that Gennady Konstantinov, a 25-year-old ethnic Russian, was sentenced to death on 25 December 1990 by the regional court in Aktyubinsk. He had been convicted of the rape and murder of a minor. The Supreme Court of Kazakhstan upheld the sentence on appeal; Gennady Konstantinov is now awaiting the outcome of a petition for clemency. AI is calling for the sentence to be commuted.
