  "reliability_note": "An analytical report by the Central Asia Bureau for Analytical Reporting, read on 4 November 2026. It names 'the chief imam of Almaty Tole Bi mosque, Yersin Amre' among the Kazakh religious activists most active on the internet, in the context of the pandemic-era move of mosque life online. It is used only for that office and activity; it gives no follower counts and names no legal school for him.",
