Rizabek Battaluly

Rizabek Battaluly is a Kazakh scholar and former lecturer at the Egyptian University of Islamic Culture 'Nur-Mubarak'. He gained notoriety after a controversial video resurfaced in which he discusses the 'proper' way to discipline women, advocating for physical punishment as a means of 'education'. This video, initially recorded nine years ago, sparked widespread outrage on social media, leading to calls for accountability from public figures and citizens alike. Battaluly's remarks have been condemned as a promotion of violence against women, and despite an apology reportedly issued, it remains unclear whether he has faced any legal repercussions for his statements.
