The AP today quotes Gulzhan Ergaliyeva, editor of the "Svoboda Slova" newspaper, as saying that the Vremya-Print press' refusal to publish is an attempt to shut down the opposition's voice ahead of 4 December presidential election.
Management at Vremya-Print has declined to comment. The move follows a recent wave of seizures of opposition newspapers and harassment of their distributors by authorities across Kazakhstan.
The six main opposition papers operating in Kazakhstan have a combined circulation of more than 400,000.
